Song lyrics

Send "Pardon Me" ringtones to your cell

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... They'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 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. They'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... They'll never be the same

Pardon me...
Never be the same...   yeah.

288 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal At first when I heard this song i'm like "what was that about?, bursting into flames, some guys fried above his knee?" Then 5 years passed, I listened to it again, read what inspired Brandon to write the song, and i'm like ooooh...that's awesome!! By-the-by, the songs about how Brandons sick of the world "and it's mindless games", and how people are dumb little animals.Oh, and how he'd like to spontaniously combuste

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal god, can you say anything else than "oh I love this song", "brandon is so hot"...? for my part, this song makes me feel very bad, because it reminds me of something really horrible that happened in my country: a black woman poured fuel over herself and burned herself alive in a public place. she was taken to hospital but died a few days later. i've seen pictures of her in the magazines. they were awful to see. i guess this song expresses her thoughts quite well...
