Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh, no
[Verse 2]
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen, oh, yeah
That the joke was on me, oh, no
That the joke was on me
[Outro]
Oh
