I Started A Joke lyrics

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.
