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

Won't take my eyes off the ball again

You used to 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?

Etcetera, etcetera

Facts for whatever

Fifteen steps

Then a shear drop



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.
