Ave Lolita

Gone and gone for good
Grown up and slipped away
Passed from now to then
Like a river going by to rush headlong into the sea

She hears the band play 'Ave Lolita'
She sees her future coming to her in a flash
Starts counting hours, starts counting minutes
And walks the line she still can't define
Ave Lolita

If you sleep at all, sleep well
For the coming day won't spare you
If fear is the key, you are lost outside the door
And you've been there before

When you've heard the band play 'Ave Lolita'
She sees her future rushing by her in a flash
Starts counting hours, starts counting minutes
And walks the line while there's still time
Ave Lolita

Watch the sky for details
Watch the distance for fire
Fiery pinpricks out of reach
I can't hold the lines of words to tick them off
But it won't be long now

She hears the band play 'Ave Lolita'
She sees her future coming to her in a flash
Starts counting hours, starts counting minutes
And walks the line she still can't define
Ave Lolita
