Ironic

An old man, turned 98. He won the lottery, and died the next day.
It's a black fly in your chardonnay. It's a death row pardon, two minutes too late.
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

It's like rain, on your wedding day
It's a free ride, when you've already paid
It's the good advice, that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

Mr. Play-It-Safe, was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase, and kissed his kids goodbye.
He waited his whole damn life, to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought, "Well isn't this nice?"
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?


It's like rain, on your wedding day. It's a free ride, when you've already paid.
It's the good advice, that you just didn't take. And who would've thought? It figures.

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you,
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right,
And life has a funny way of helping you out,
When you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face.

A traffic jam, when you're already late
A "No smoking" sign, on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
A little too ironic? Yeah I really do think.

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.
And life has a funny, funny way, of helping you out
Helping you out...
