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

I started to cry
which started the whole world laughing
oh if I only see
that the joke was on me

I looked at the sky
holding 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 see
that the joke was on me

I looked at the sky
holding my hands
over my eyes
and I fell out of bed
hurting my head
from things that I said

I finally died
which started the whole world living
oh if I'd only see
that the joke was on me
that the joke was on me
