Ironic (live in berlin edit)
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 husbant
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?
