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 heads from things that I 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 said

Till I finally died, which started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

Oh, no, that the joke was on me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
