Gone and gone for good
Grown up and gone away
Passed from now to then like a river running 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 while there's still time
Ave Lolita
If you sleep at all sleep well for the coming day won't spare you
If fear is the key you are locked outside the door
And you've been there before
When you heard the band play Ave Lolita
And you saw your future coming to you 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
Cause she hears 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 she still can't define
Ave Lolita
Grown up and gone away
Passed from now to then like a river running 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 while there's still time
Ave Lolita
If you sleep at all sleep well for the coming day won't spare you
If fear is the key you are locked outside the door
And you've been there before
When you heard the band play Ave Lolita
And you saw your future coming to you 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
Cause she hears 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 she still can't define
Ave Lolita
