I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh if I could only see that the joke was on me

I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I could only see that the joke was on me

I looked at the sky
Rubbing my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head
From things that I said

Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I could only see that the joke was on me

I looked at the sky
Rubbing my hands over my eyes
I fell out of bed
Hurting my head
From things that I said

Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I could only see that the joke was on me
