Lyrics

Ironic-Alanis Morissette

An old man turned ninety eight
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 a good advice that you just didn't take
And who would have 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 when the plane crashed down, he thought
"Well, isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Repeat Chorus

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 like meeting the man of your dreams
And meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Repeat Chorus

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