There are times in life when you feel like you're so on top of everything there's no decision you can do to mess anything up. Life is so great that you wonder whether God and/or fate conspired to put you right there, in that moment, when your world is just PERFECT. People might go through life having many of these moments, and as they pass you by like a train on track, the only thing you can do is be thankful that train passed by as frequent as it had, or even at all. But then, there are also times when you realize, you were NEVER in control at all. The world conspired to make you feel SUPER, and then in a kryptonite-like maneuver, make you weak, bring you down to your knees, and make you lose all sense of whatever control you thought you had. And, like a train on track shaking your home-along-the-tracks (heheh), the only thing you can do is try to hold on to something until the mini-quake ends. Hopefully your house will still be standing after it passes by.

IRONIC
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
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
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?
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 wife
And isn’t it ironic... don’t you think?
A little too ironic...
and yeah I really do think...
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
