I started a joke

Which started the whole world crying

But I didn't see

Which started the whole world laughing

Oh, if I'd only seen

Running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Hurting my head 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



I looked at the skies

Running my hands

Over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Hurting my head 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

Oh no! that the joke was on me

Oh...
