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, 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

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 skies

Running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Hurting my head from things that I'd said

Till I finally died

Which started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen, oh yeah

That the joke was on me, oh no

That the joke was on me, ohh
