A Decade Ago, I Never Thought I Would Be,
At Twnety-three, On The Verge Of Spontaneous Combustion.
Woe-is-me.
But I Guess That It Comes With The Territory,
An Omnious Landscape Of Never-ending Calamity.
I Need You To Hear, I Need You To See
That I Have Had All I Can Take And
Exploding Seems Like A Definate Possibility To Me.

Chorus
So Pardon Me While I Burst Into Flames.
I've Had Enough Of This World And It's People's Mindless Games.
So Pardon Me While I Burn And Rise Above The Flame.
Pardon Me, Pardon Me... I'll Never Be The Same.

Not Two Days Ago, I Was Having A Look In A Book
And I Saw A Picture Of A Guy Fried Up Above His Knees.
I Said, "I Can Relate," Cause Lately I'vebeen Thinking Of Combustion
As A Welcomed Vacation From The Burdens Of The Planet Earth.
Like Gravity, Hypocrisy, And The Perils Of Being In 3-D...
And Thinking So Much Differently.

Chorus (2x)
