A Funny Thing

[Nieder / Christ]

Two people, great for each other, meet by mistake

Now you tell me is that coincidence?

You've got two others, great for each other,

They've never met and never will

Is that coincidence or fate fulfilled?

Is this a part of a master plan

Or are we on our own? I don't understand

It's a funny thing the way it works

A funny thing the way it don't

It's a funny thing and so it goes on and on and on

A funny thing I don't understand

A guy's driving, think about nothing

A sunny day, a truck runs a light

And he ain't going home tonight

If he'd have left 10 seconds later

Would he still be dead?

Or do you think he might have lived

100 years instead?

Are there only accidents or none at all?

Do we walk around in roulette wheels or crystal balls?

It's a funny thing the way it works

A funny thing the way it don't

It's a funny thing and so it goes on and on and on

A funny thing I don't understand

Is this a part of a master plan

Or are we on our own? I don't understand

How do you think we wind up

With these cards in our hands?

Is it the right place - right time

Wrong place - wrong time?

Which place - which time?

If you think about it too much

You'll go out of your mind

It's a funny thing!

If only this, if only that

Does it matter if we could've should've done that?

It's a funny thing, I don't understand

It's a funny thing and so it goes on and on and on

A funny thing, I don't understand!
