| My Elle was kicking back
|
| Said; |
| honey, must you drive so fast?
|
| We were young and high as summer
|
| I knew it couldn’t last
|
| Taking the mountain pass
|
| She smiled and said you know
|
| Love like ours is as doomed and stained as snow
|
| Through the corn and the cotton belts
|
| Southern deserts where we wintered
|
| Perhaps I merely dreamt it
|
| I mean who could eclipse the pacific
|
| Take the roads of her olive thighs
|
| To the seas behind her eyes
|
| Our flesh turning to flame
|
| Starblind when we came
|
| She had entered my world, black and umber
|
| How now I recall as history takes her
|
| I won’t forget what I said as she slept
|
| Oh my lolita Elle
|
| Anything but heaven’s got to be some kind of hell
|
| Yeah, I know the rules are tough
|
| On the likes of us
|
| The damned and the beautiful as well
|
| But it’s the only way
|
| See it’s the only way
|
| If we’re to get to heaven again
|
| Again…
|
| If I asked you would you believe
|
| That the air there was warm and green
|
| We drove in silence many miles
|
| Through hazel towns and dusky streets
|
| Oh time will never catch us up
|
| Take the wheel while I skin up
|
| It’ll take a golden mile
|
| Or maybe five
|
| And then the sky was mad with stars
|
| We tore the desert like a scar
|
| We’d gotten what we’d prayed for
|
| We’d slipped from God’s thoughts
|
| These ember moments must sleep with the past
|
| We take the valleys far too fast
|
| And like our youth and the road below
|
| We both knew it wouldn’t last
|
| She had entered my world, black and umber
|
| How now I recall as time must reclaim her
|
| I won’t forget what I said as she wept
|
| Oh my lolita Elle
|
| Anything but heaven’s got to be some kind of hell
|
| Yeah, I know the rules are tough
|
| On the likes of us
|
| The damned and the beautiful as well
|
| Oh my lolita Elle
|

| If we’re to get to heaven again
|
| Again…
|
| Again…
|
| Again… |
