i started a joke

Pet Shop Boys

I started a joke which startled a whole world of quiet
But I couldn?t see that the joke was on me, oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I couldn?t see that the joke was on me

I?ve looked after skies right in my hands, over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I?ve said
Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I couldn?t see that the joke was on me

I?ve looked after skies right in my hands, over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I?ve said
Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I only see, oh yea, that the joke was on me

Oh, the joke was on me
Oh, the joke was on me
