Ironic (Live Unplugged)

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 the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought, it figures

Mister 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

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 going right

And yeah well 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 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

Who would've thought, it figures
