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

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'd said

till i finally died

which started the whole world living

oh if i'd only seen oh yeah

that the joke was on me oh no

that the joke was on me ohh
