I thought I wanted to die
But I barely had the time
And isn't it funny
How I didn't even
Have the money
To say goodbye?
Oh what the perfect irony
With this man
I want to see the land
But is my mind even,
Oh I must choose to believe him
Or say goodbye
Oh what the perfect irony
I want to love
It's all I'm thinking of
But isn't it sordid
How my dreams can become distorted
Just tell me why my life's the perfect irony
I can't decide
If I should laugh or cry
I think it's kind of funny
How they say all I need is the money
To get by, to get by, to get by
Oh what the perfect irony
