before the last bell has rung
let's rebuild this lovely scene
but it's not what these eyes see
round and around and around we go
you know i never really could get into our conversations
just merely confrontations
and teach me the ways of the world
the dark road was built on the lies that were told
before the last bell has rung
and there's nowhere to run
you know i've been wandering
and dragging this heavy soul
these lessons you're selling
i'll try to meet ya on that high plateau
so take the message to the chief
and guess who's coming to dinner
to dinner. you make the words sound so sweet
let's pretend that everything's gonna be alright
it took me a second to read ya
face me when i speak to ya
before the last bell has rung
and there's nowhere to run
