Why does this strange place seem so familiar?
The bell by the clock it seems so silent
I’ve walked these halls for 11 years
The voices and faces, they don’t disappear.

I do not move in breathless wonder
Jezebel by herself, an apple between her legs
Now I remember what will transpire
Little girl broke the rules, Jezebel broke the rules.

I’m in my mind’s eye, teacher is teaching
In his eyes, I see the evil intent.
The person next to me so young and naïve
Teacher wants to know if you’ll be bleeding.

Why does this strange place seem so familiar?
Why does the teacher have a big smile on his face?
On his table, sour apples like lemons.
Teacher, tell us. What is our lesson?
