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 and 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 reel me out 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 sheer drop

How come I end up where I started
How can I end up where I belong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out and you cut the string
