“Ave Maria” was released as the second single from Imani Coppola’s tenth studio album, The Glass Wall, in 2012. Spin described the song as “an angsty, sub-bass-centered rock track.” The song’s flamboyant rock vibe has drawn comparisons to Queen.

[Verse 1]
Help me understand
Turn my pain into compassion
Can't get my head around it
Can't get my head around it
He is like a question
And I'm always guessin'
Is he gay or European
Gay or European?
Whose shirt is this?
Is it his or mine or mine or his?
Whose shirt is this?
Is it his or mine or mine or his?
[Chorus]
Well I get right on my knees and pray
Ave Maria
[Verse 2]
Help me understand
Turn my pain into compassion
Can't get my head around it
Can't get my head around it
I am a victim
I am a victim
Of his fashion crisis
Flashing devices
[Chorus]
I get down on my knees and pray
Ave Maria
[Bridge]
Patron Saint of Sex Laws
He is a lost cause
I pray to you for strength
Help me understand this boy
An angel loses her wings
Every time I sing
An angel loses her wings
Every time I sing
And they'll all fall back to earth
[Chorus]
So I get down on my knees and pray
Ave Maria
[Verse 3]
Can't get my head around it
Can't get my head around him
He strikes me like a question
And I'm always guessin'
Is he gay or European
Gay or European
[Chorus]
I get down on my knees and pray
Ave Maria, Ave Maria
[Outro]
Whose shirt is this?
Is it his or mine or mine or his?
Whose shirt is this?
Is it his or mine or mine or his?
