Pardon Me Songtext
von Incubus

Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst

A decade ago, I never thought I would be
At 23, on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me!
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous 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 definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I′ve had enough of the world and its 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 knee
I said I can relate, 'cause lately, I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet Earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3D
But thinking so much differently, and

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I′ve had enough of the world and its 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
Never be the same, yeah

Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I′ve had enough of the world and its 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

Pardon me, I'll never be the same, yeah
