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
