lyrics
Gone and gone for good
Grown up and slipped away
Passed from now to then like a river going by
To rush headlong in to 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 heard the band play Ave Lolita
She caught her future rushing by her in a flash
Start counting hours, start counting minutes
And walk 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
Grown up and slipped away
Passed from now to then like a river going by
To rush headlong in to 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 heard the band play Ave Lolita
She caught her future rushing by her in a flash
Start counting hours, start counting minutes
And walk 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
