Lyric Ironic

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

[Chorus]
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 tought...it figures

Mr. Play It Save 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 tought
"Well isn t this nice..."
And isn t it ironic...don t you think

[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 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...

[Chorus]

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