 Pardon me  while I burst
 Pardon me  while I burst
----------------
 Bass Only:
 A decade ago  I never
 thought I would be
 A 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 a
 definite
possibility
 Distortion:
  --
 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
 Post Chorus: Bass Only
----  x2
 Bass Only:
 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've been
thinking  of combustication
 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
 Distortion:
--
 differently
 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  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  never be  the same yeah
