I Started A Joke lyrics

(duet with The Orb)
Written by The Bee Gees

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.

Til 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.

'Til I finally died,
Which started the whole world living,
