I started a joke   Which started the whole world crying   But I didn't see, oh no, 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 said      Till I finally died   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 said      Till I finally died   Which started the whole world living   Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me   Oh no, that the joke was on me
