Poof, there goes another one
A raging fire, a funeral pyre
An unexpected cremation

They were kissing in a crowded mall
when they burst right into flames.
Charcoal bricquets in thirty seconds
Their last words -- each other's names
Did they have a deep seated problem?
Was this their farewell?
Did they cause themselves to ignite
Leaving that awful smell?

Spontaneous Human Combustion
Poof, there goes another one
A raging fire, a funeral pyre
An unexpected cremation

She was walking on Rodeo Drive
She exploded with a flash
The police had no explanation
Their only clue -- a pile of ash
Did her Visa card reach its limit
   on that shopping spree?
Did she blow her top when she read
"Buy one -- get one free"?

Spontaneous Human Combustion
Poof, there goes another one
A raging fire, a funeral pyre
An unexpected cremation

Is it passion, is it heartburn?
Is it the wrath of god?
Maybe it's friction in the bloodstream
   starts a fire in your bod?
Is it caused by stress or frustration?
Or by what you eat?
Never snack on cabbage and wasabe,
   you'll get smoking feet

Spontaneous Human Combustion
Poof, there goes another one
A raging fire, a funeral pyre
An unexpected cremation
