I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
; 2, 3: ]
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
That the joke was on me
Oh...
