Irony Lyrics

Make no mistake

You and I will sleep together again

And I probably won't even want to

When it happens

You'll see me in some café on W. 4th St.

Under the overpass where the lonely meet

And you'll realize that I'm all you've ever wanted

And without me you just won't be complete

I'll hear your revelation and I'll shudder

I won't recognize who I see

Through all the irony

Want to go swimming?

The weather's finally fine

The pool's in need of trimming

But the water tastes like wine

My love for you is dimming

And you finally want to be mine

I should have known

If I stopped loving you

Irony would bring you home

You said it was over

And you set out on your own attack

But on your own really meant on your back

And the man who became your lover

Was the letter that you used to send

While the man who was your cover

Discovered he was left

To be just your friend

And now he doesn't even want you anymore

This promise of excitement that you left me for

Can't you hear it laughing at us just outside the door that has no key

Irony

Want to go swimming?

The weather's finally fine

The pool's in need of trimming

But the water tastes like wine

My love for you is dimming

And you finally want to be mine

I should have known

If I stopped loving you

Irony would bring you home

Irony would bring you home

Home

Irony would bring you home

Irony would bring you home
