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

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,

Oh but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

And I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,

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

And I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,

And I fell out of bed, cursing 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.

And I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,

And I fell out of bed, cursing 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 one me.
