I Started A Joke

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,
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.
