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 when 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 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? Etcetera Etcetera Fetch 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 then you cut the string.
