How come I end up where I started?

How come I end up where I went wrong?

Won't take my eyes off the ball again

You reel me out then you cut the string

How come I end up where I started?

How come I end up where I went wrong?

I won't take my eyes off the ball again

First you reel me out and then you cut the string

You used to be alright

What happened?

Did the cat get your tongue?

Did your string come undone?

One by one

One by one

It comes to us all

It's as soft as your pillow

You used to be alright

What happened

Et cetera, et cetera

Fads for whatever

Fifteen steps

Then a sheer drop

How come I end up where I started?

How can I end up where I went wrong?

Won't take my eyes off the ball again

You reel me out and you cut the string
