you reel me out and then you cut the string..

15 Step

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 your eyes off the ball again
you cut me in and reel 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
in slow procession
it's as soft as your pillow

you used to be alright
what happened
etcetera etcetera
fetch for whatever
15 steps
then a sheer drop

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
you reel me out then you cut the string
