Athena

Athena, I had no idea how much I'd need her In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong But I think I'll get along She's just a girl (she's a bomb) Athena, all I ever want to do is please her My life has been so settled and she's the reason Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone But I think I'll get along She's just a girl (she's a bomb, she's a bomb) Just a girl, just a girl Just a girl, just a girl Just a girl, just a girl She's just a girl Athena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath I felt like one of those flattened ants you find on a crazy path I'd have topped myself to give her time she didn't need to ask Was I a suicidal psychopath? She's just a girl (she's a bomb) She's just a girl (she's a bomb) Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage And I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambeèd You got me requisitioned blondie She's just a girl (she's a bomb) I'm happy (she's a bomb) I'm ecstatic Just a girl, just a girl Just a girl, just a girl Just a girl, just a girl She's just a girl Look into the face of a child Measure how long you smiled Before the memory claimed How long would children remain? How long could children remain? Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her" I felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter And now you're stuck with a castrated leader And I hate the creep I didn't mean that (she's a bomb) I just said it (she's a bomb) I didn't mean it, please (she's a bomb) Athena, I had no idea how much I need her My life has been so settled and she's the reason Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone Ooh, but I get along She's just a girl (she's a bomb) She's just a girl (she's a bomb)
