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.
