I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh but I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no
And I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
For things that I've said
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
For things that I've said

'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
That the joke was on me, me
