Lyrics Pardon Me - acoustic - Incubus

Pardon me while I burst...

A decade ago,
I never thought I would be,
At twenty-three, 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 an imminent 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 3-D...
But thinking so much differently.

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!

Never be the same, yeahh!!
