Take my eyes off the ball again, You reel me out and then you cut the string

How come I end up where I started, How come I end up where I went wrong

Take my eyes off the ball again, You reel me out and then you cut the string

You used to be alright, what happened

Did a cat get your tongue? Did your string come undone

One by one, one by one

You used to be alright, what happened

Did a cat get your fucking tongue

Did your string come undone, come undone, one by one

You used to be alright, what happened

Did a cat get your tongue

It comes to us all, it's as soft as your pillow

You used to be alright, what happened

Etc, etc, fast for whatever

Fifteen steps, then the sheer drops

You used to be alright, what happened

Etc, etc, fast for whatever

Fifteen steps, then the sheer drops

How come I always end up where I started

How come I

How come I always end up where I started

How come I

You used to, you used to, you used to be alright, what happened

Etc, etc, fast for whatever

Fifteen steps, then the sheer drops, then the sheer drops

Won't take my eyes off the ball again

You wrote me out and cut the string
