I Started A Joke

I Started A Joke
I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
Oh but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.
And I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

And I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, cursing 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.
And I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, cursing 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 one me.
