I Started a Joke Lyrics

I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me
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 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
I finally died
Which started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
