I started a joke

I started a joke

which started the whole world crying

But I didn't see

that the joke was on me oh no

I started to cry

which started the whole world laughing

Oh if I'd only seen

that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies

running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

hurting 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

I looked at the skies

running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

hurting 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

Oh no that the joke was one me
