Ave Lolita - Black

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 and 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 our 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 walk the line she still can’t define-

Ave Lolita
