Flicka flicka flicka
Here you are
Cata cata cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in
And filling up my hopeless heart
Oh never never go
Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away from me
You flicker
And you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hypnotized
I'm mesmerized
Your flames
The flames that kiss me dead
Here you are
Cata cata cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in
And filling up my hopeless heart
Oh never never go
Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away from me
You flicker
And you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hypnotized
I'm mesmerized
Your flames
The flames that kiss me dead

I have no idea whether it's intentional or coincidental.
"Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet"
I don't know. Thoughts?
I believe it's simply about someone coming into his unhappy life and making it magical. His "lemon lies" are his bitterness and cynicism... maybe he even literally lies, claiming to not want love and happiness. She dusts his bitterness with "powder pink and sweet"- her beauty, femininity, love, kindness. She's changing the whole "flavor" of his life for the better.
The girl changing/flying away refers to his fears she will someday leave him, or "change" somehow and disappoint him. He's been hopeless and apparently miserable after all, so he doesn't believe he can hang on her.
Actually I think that is the song's true theme. I'm sure anyone who's been lonely/hopeless and then found love can understand it... that feeling of being happy, but afraid to completely accept the happiness for fear of losing it.
It's such an amazingly sweet song, I can't imagine it having any kind of ugly undertones.
Lolita totally changed my view of love too. I dont really think this song has anything to do with pedophilia, but i do get your point. It is an interesting perception.
Youre the fist person i know that agrees with me in the belief that Lolita is the most believable and beautiful love story ever. I dont see it as perverted at all. I dont feel grossed out by it.
I like to think it's perfectly normal and even tender.
Songs by the cure that i had actually related to Lolita before, are "High" and "Lovesong". It may not make much sense, but i like to view it this way.

I saw part of the video on this episode of Beavis and Butthead.
It was interesting how Robert never looked into the camera.
