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, I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I've said

'Till I finally died, which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

And I, I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes
And I, I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I've said

'Till 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
That the joke was on me
