What started out a waking dream Turned out to be not what it seemed But all was set, you laid the trap Two steps forward, one step back Two steps forward and one step back
Could not climb down from off the fence Either side wrought with coincidence And pitfall eyes, pick up the slack Two steps forward and one step back

You waited there behind the door The house of cards fell to the floor Clean up the mess, the deck was stacked Two steps forward and one step back
