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
and i looked at the skies
running my hands
over my eyes
and i fell out of bed
hurting my head
for things that i've said
till 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
hurting my head
for things that i've said
till i finally died
which started the whole world living
oh if i'd only seen
that the joke was on me
that the joke was on me
