Incubus - Pardon me (rare)

(rare acoustic version, live @ subsound-radio-show, 17.11.1992)

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 it's 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...
and thinking so much differently

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and it's 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 it's 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, I'll never be the same, yeah

This is the best version of this song that's not actually a live performance (like at a live show). I exclude those since I haven't heard any of them. screaming people piss me off. love this song.

This was not recorded in 1992. Their first demo release was not even recorded until 1994, you think they had an acoustic version of a song that was recorded 3 albums/5 years after their first demo?
