I Started A Joke
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 only see that the joke was on me
Oh I look at the sky running my hand over my eyes
And I fell out of breath turning my head from things that I said
Till I finally die which started the whole world living
Oh if I only see that the joke was on me
Oh I look at the sky...
Oh no that the joke was on me
