Pet Shop Boys - I Started a Joke lyrics

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

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
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

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen, oh yeah
That the joke was on me, oh, no
That the joke was on me oh, oh, oh, oh
No, no, no
