"Pardon Me (Acoustic Studio Version)"

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 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
 
 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
 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!
