Alanis Morissette "Ironic" lyrics

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery an died the next day
Itīs a black fly in your Chardonnay
Itīs a death row pardon two minutes too late

CHORUS:
Itīs like rain on your wedding day
Itīs like a free ride that youīve already paid
Itīs the good advice that you just didnīt take
Who wouldīve thought ... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe 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 plain crashed down he thought
"Well, isnīt it nice..."
And isnīt it ironic ... donīt you think

REPEAT CHORUS

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everythingīs okay and everythingīs going right
[ "Ironic" lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everythingīs gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when youīre already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
Itīs like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
Itīs meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isnīt it ironic ... donīt you think
A little too ironic ... and yeah I really do 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
