Lolita Elle

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

Yes i know the rules are tough

On the likes of us

The damned and the beautiful as well

But it's the only way

If we're to get to heaven 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
