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
for things that i've said
till 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
for things that i've said
till i finally died
which started the whole world living
oh if i'd only seen
that the joke was on me
that the joke was on me..me..
