[bad word] I end up where I started? [bad word] 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
 [bad word] I end up where I started? [bad word] I end up where I went wrong?
I won't take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out and then you cut the string

You used to be all right
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue?
Did your [bad word] undone?

One by one
In procession [bad word] to us all
It's as soft as your pillow 

You used to be all right
What happened?
Et cetera, et cetera
Fads for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a sheer drop
 [bad word] I end up where I started?
How can 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
