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.
