I started a joke, which started
나는 장난을 시작했어요, 그러자
the whole world crying,
온 세상이 울기 시작했어요,
but I didn't see 하지만
그 장난이 내게 돌아오는 것을
that the joke was on me, oh no.
나는 알지 못했어요, 아, 안돼.
I started to cry, which started
나는 울기 시작했어요, 그러자
the whole world laughing, 온 세상이 웃기 시작했어요,
oh, if I'd only seen
아, 만일 그 장난이 내게 돌아오는 것을
that the joke was on me.
알았더라면.
I looked at the skies,
나는 하늘을 바라보았어요,
running my hands over my eyes,
손으로 눈을 비비며,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head
그리고 내가 한 말들로 내 머리를
from things that I'd said
상하게 하며 침대에서 떨어졌어요.
Till I finally died, which started
결국 나는 죽게 되었어요, 그러자
the whole world living,
온 세상이 살아나기 시작했어요,
oh, if I'd only seen
아, 만일 그 장난이 내게 돌아오는 것을
that the joke was on me.
알았더라면.

oh, no, that the joke was on me.
아, 정말로 그 장난이 내게 돌아오는 것을.
Oh oh oh oh.
아, 아, 아, 아.
[Verse 1]
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no
[Verse 2]
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen, oh yeah
That the joke was on me
[Outro]
Oh no, that the joke was on me, oh
