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,
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me.
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,
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me.

I also read on the Bee Gees page for this song that it could be about Hitler which makes a lot of sense.
Whether the dream's falsity came from the person themself or another is left up to the listener. Though to me, it seems a bit of both but they may have built the dream up without realizing they were doing it.
