Loser's Way Home

Take a step back, deep breath
Not looking good now, follow step
Not shy in distance, sweaty palms
I hear the car horn, here comes your mom

She will let this game roll on
Don't wanna take the loser's way home

One letter from destruction
What will the outcome be?
One letter from destruction
Avoid the letter "E"

Now your mom is your biggest fan
She shows no favorites the best that she can
Assume position, hold on tight
Your destiny is now taking flight

Gravity has you in her grasp
Time slows, moments elapse

One letter from destruction
What will the outcome be?
One letter from construction
Of the final letter "E"

The pressure's growing so much at stake
In or out it's my decision to make
To the right this game prolongs
To the left the loser goes back home

What weight does my decision entail?
About two pounds on the American scale
To see the look on that hopeful face
He'll sadly walk away from this place, singing:

One letter from destruction
What will the outcome be?
One letter from construction
The final letter "E"

One letter from destruction
What will the outcome be?
One letter from construction
The final letter "E"

One letter from destruction (Oh no)
What will the outcome be? (Is this really happening?)
One letter from construction (Don't wanna take)
The final letter "E" (The loser's way home)

One letter from destruction (Oh no)
What will the outcome be? (Is this really happening?)
One letter from construction (Don't wanna take)
The final letter "E" (The loser's way home)
