I Started A Joke

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

That the joke was on me,

oh no

That the joke was on me---

Oh oh oh oh oh
