Faith No More › Lyrics › I Started a Joke

I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh but I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no

And I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head for things that I've said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head for things that I've said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me, that the joke was on me, me
