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 heads from things that I said Till 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 said Till I finally died, which started the whole world living Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me Oh, no, that the joke was on me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh that the joke was on me
