[The ambition and certainty of the Magician is immediately undercut by the elliptical utterances of the Priestess, which offer both mercy and severity. I don't have a special Tarot understanding of the "15 steps" -- other than that the card that's 15 steps away from her is the Star.]
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
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 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 all right
What happened?
Et cetera et cetera
Facts 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
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out and you cut the string.
