I woke up early to catch the morning train Tripped on a shoelace and almost sprained my brain Poured myself coffee but the cup was a bowl Dropped my front door keys right down a dark hole The sun is shining but it's raining on me A pigeon left a present dropped out of a tree Oh what a beautiful wonderful mess The universe loves playing cynical chess Everything's broken and I'm doing fine Just drinking the water and hoping for wine Yeah it's ironic but what can you do When the joke of the day is entirely on you I bought an umbrella then the desert rolled in I finally shaved and got a rash on my chin Walked on the pavement and stepped in some gum Tried playing guitar and I blistered my thumb The weather app promised a tropical breeze Now I'm stuck in a blizzard and starting to freeze Oh what a beautiful wonderful mess The universe loves playing cynical chess Everything's broken and I'm doing fine Just drinking the water and hoping for wine Yeah it's ironic but what can you do When the joke of the day is entirely on you I'd write a complaint but my pencil is dull I'd call for some help but the inbox is full It's tragedy wrapped in a comedy show Which way is up, well I really don't know Oh what a beautiful wonderful mess The universe loves playing cynical chess Everything's broken and I'm doing fine Just drinking the water and hoping for wine Yeah it's ironic but what can you do When the joke of the day is entirely on you So I'll just sit here and laugh at the sky I can't even cry cause there's dust in my eye Have a nice day, what a hilarious line I'm burning my toast and I'm feeling just fine
