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.
