10,000 Spoons Lyrics by Neil Cicierega

Mouth Dreams

2020

[Intro]
Hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah

[Verse 1]
An old man died the next day
He won the lottery and turned 98
It’s an old man in your Chardonnay
It’s a death row pardon in your Chardonnay

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride on your wedding day
It’s the good advice on your wedding day
And who would’ve thought—it figures!

[Verse 2]
An old man was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his spoons goodbye
He kissed his suitcase and his cigarette wife
And as the pain crashed down
He thought, “Well, isn’t this knife?”

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

[Chorus]
It's like rain (it’s like rain) (it’s like rain) on your wedding day

[Bridge]
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

[Verse 3]
A traffic jam on your cigarette break
A no-smoking sign on your suitcase
It’s like ten thousand spoons
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his cigarette wife

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And yeah, I really do think
(rainfall)

[Chorus]
Rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride on your wedding day
It’s the good advice on your wedding day
It’s like rain
Figures
