letra:
I
started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
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
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 said
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the
whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
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 said
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the
whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no that the joke was on me
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no that the joke was on me
