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.
Til 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.
Til I finally died,
which started the whole world living.
Oh, if I’d only seen, oh yeah,
that the joke was one me, oh no,
that the joke was one me, oooooh.
