| IRONIC By Alanis Morissette An old man turns ninety-eight; He won the lottery and dies the next day. It's a black fly in your Chardonnay; It's a death row pardon two minutes too late. 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 Who would've thought it figures? Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye 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 everthing blows up In your face. A traffic jam when you're already late; A no smoking sign on your cigarette break; It's like 10 000 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.. and yeah, I really do 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... And life has a funny way of helping you out... Helping you out... |
