The Bell Is Gonna Ring

You brought the flashlight with the dying bulb.
I brought two coffees in a plastic tray.
The gym floor warped in nineteen ninety-eight.
We told the guard we had a test today.

The chalkboard says that Friday is the dance.
The cafeteria smells like wet drywall.
You found a trophy with the eagle snapped.
I took attendance in the shower stall.

The bell is gonna ring at any minute.
Don't pack your bag, we're almost at the top.
We still believe in room three-oh-two.
The lesson started and it didn't stop.

You stole a stapler that was out of pins.
I drew a mustache on the principal.
You said my posture has improved a lot.
I said your hair looks very sensible.

The bell is gonna ring at any minute.
Don't pack your bag, we're almost at the top.
We still believe in room three-oh-two.
The lesson started and it didn't stop.

Nobody told us thirty years had passed.
Nobody asked to see our hall pass either.
You picked the locker with the rusted lock.
We never got a single answer right.

The bell is gonna ring at any minute.
Don't pack your bag, we're almost at the top.
We still believe in room three-oh-two.
The lesson started and it didn't stop.

Put down your pencil now.
Don't check your watch.
The bell is gonna ring.
