Ironic (Alanis Morrisette)

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 to 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 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 just to take flight/and as the plane crashed down he thought "well isn't this nice..."

And isn't it ironic...don't you think?

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything is 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 on your face

A traffic jam when you are already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarret break

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

It's like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic...don't you think?

A little too ironic...yeah, I really do think!
