6. Pardon Me (Live) - (3:46)
(Hey, this song's called pardon me)
Pardon me while I burst
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 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 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
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, yeah
