Unwelcome Surprise

Win the big prize and die the next day

No one will say where it all goes

Spend life savings on a brand new car

Watch it crumpled being towed

Terrified of the man in charge

As he changes everything

You finally drop down to one knee

And realize you've lost the ring

I bet you didn't see that one coming, right between the eyes

I bet you didn't see that one coming, unwelcome surprise

I bet you didn't see that one coming

The courage comes and you can take the ride

First time in the air

And as you meet the earth face to face

You realize life isn't fair

Carry life 'til it's ready to bloom

Born without a heart

Ready to race and ready to go

No one to say it's time to start

I bet you didn't see that one coming, right between the eyes

I bet you didn't see that one coming, unwelcome surprise

I bet you didn't see that one coming

No warning, no breath, no beat

No future, no help, no end I see

No point, no thing to gain

You can't win by cheating the game

Pulled over when you're already late

Ending shackled, face on the ground

My favorite band plays my favorite bar

But only when I'm out of town

Hit the lottery and hit 10 mil

Split in 12 million ways

I get a break and finally die

But someone else is in my grave

I bet you didn't see that one coming, right between the eyes

I bet you didn't see that one coming, unwelcome surprise

I bet you didn't see that one coming

No warning, no breath, no beat

No future, no help, no end I see

No point, no thing to gain

You can't win by cheating the game
