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

[Repeat * , **]

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