I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I said

I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing

I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I said

I finally died
Which started the whole world living

If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
