Succeed
Succeed
Eyes shifty from worry
A gun awaits its release
Step up to the line
Get, Set and Go
Don't fail
Mind in order, hair askew
Pens at the ready
Make every second count
You may now begin writing
Don't fail
A cigarette to the lips
Six strings standing by
Prepare your mind
Step up to the mike
Don't fail
Braided tie, polished shoes
Smart as your paper says
Smile, nod, impress
Can you start this Monday?
Don't fail
White altar, whiter flowers
Fair lady on your arm
Answer the questions
You may now kiss the bride
Don't fail
A pigeon carries the message
The chitter chatter, a mere murmur
Hurry; hold; cry. Be brave
Take care of your mother for me
Don't fail
A pretty girl in her prom dress
Walking down the stairs
Hold back those tears
Dont wait up, Dad
Don't fail
Held prisoner, in a fortress
Of a pillow-wielding prince
Feel young again
Come on, grandpa
Don't fail
Buzzing sounds; Heavy breathing
Surroundings darken
Smile.
We're losing him
Didn't fail
