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.
