Spontaneous Human Combustion

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
