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.
