Athena Lyrics

edit | print 
Athena, I had no idea how much Id need her
Athena, I had no idea how much Id need her
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong
My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong
But I think Ill get along
But I think Ill get along
Shes just a girl - shes a bomb
Shes just a girl - shes a bomb

Athena, all I ever want to do is please her
Athena, all I ever want to do is please her
My life has been so settled and shes the reason
My life has been so settled and shes the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I think Ill get along
But I think Ill get along
Shes just a girl - shes a bomb
Shes just a girl - shes a bomb

Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Shes just a girl
Shes just a girl

Athena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath
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 felt like one of those flattened ants you find on a crazy path
Id of topped myself to give her time she didnt need to ask
Id of topped myself to give her time she didnt need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath?
Was I a suicidal psychopath?
Shes just a girl - shes a bomb
Shes just a girl - shes a bomb

Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage
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
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You were requisitioned blondie
You were requisitioned blondie
Shes just a girl - shes a bomb
Shes just a girl - shes a bomb

Im happy, Im ecstatic
Im happy, Im ecstatic
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Shes just a girl
Shes just a girl

Look into the face of a child
Look into the face of a child
Measure how long you smiled
Measure how long you smiled
Before the memory claimed
Before the memory claimed
How long would children remain
How long would children remain
How long would children remain
How long would children remain

Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed leave her
Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed leave her
It felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter
It felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter
And now youre stuck with a castrated leader
And now youre stuck with a castrated leader
And I hate the creep, I didnt mean that
And I hate the creep, I didnt mean that
Shes a bomb
Shes a bomb
I just said it
I just said it
Shes a bomb
Shes a bomb
I didnt mean it, please
I didnt mean it, please
Shes a bomb
Shes a bomb

Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
My life has been so settled and shes the reason
My life has been so settled and shes the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I get along
But I get along
Shes just a girl, shes a bomb
Shes just a girl, shes a bomb
Shes just a girl, shes a bomb
Shes just a girl, shes a bomb
