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, laughing

Oh if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

I looked at the sky

Running 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 seen

That the joke was on me

I looked at the sky

Running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Hurting my head

From things that I said
