The Beautiful South
I Started a Joke
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh had I only seen
That the joke was on me
And I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh had I only known
That the joke was on me
I looked at the sky
And holding my hands over my eyes
I fell out of bed
Cursing my head for the things that I said
I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh had I only seen that the joke was on me
On me
On me
I finally died
Oh I finally died
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh I finally died (repeat above)
