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, 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
