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 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.

I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing

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.

I finally died,
Which made the world living.

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