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 pa** 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
