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.
