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

Til 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

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
