I started a joke,

Which started the whole world crying,

Oh but I didn't see

That the joke was on me, oh no.

And I started to cry,

Which started the whole world laughing,

Oh, if i'd only seen

That the joke was on me.

And I looked at the skies,

Running my hands over my eyes,

And I fell out of bed,

Cursing my head from things that i'd said.

Til I finally died,

Which started the whole world living,

Oh, if i'd only seen

That the joke was on me.

And I looked at the skies,

Running my hands over my eyes,

And I fell out of bed,

Cursing my head from things that i'd said.

'til I finally died,

Which started the whole world living,

Oh, if i'd only seen

That the joke was one me.
