An old man turned ninety-eight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
Isn't it ironic
And then meetin' his beautiful wife, umm
You think everyhing's gone wrong and everything blows up
And isn't it ironic
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And isn't it ironic
When you think everything's okay and everything's goin' right, right
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Well life has a funny way of sneakin' up on you
And life has a funny way nobody helpin' you out when
Well, isn't this nice
A traffic jam when you're already late
And who would've thought, it figures
A little too ironic
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Hey yiah
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's meetin' the man of my dreams
And yeah, I really do think
A no smoking sign on your cigarette break
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
And life has a funny, funny way of helpin' you out
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
In your face
Don't you think?
Don't you think?
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Don't you think?
It's like rain on your weddin' day
And who would've thought, it figures
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
And who would've thought, it figures
And well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
