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.

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
