Athena - Lyrics by Who


Lyrics
Athena, I had no idea how much I'd need her
Athena, I had no idea how much I'd 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 I'll get along
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's 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 she's the reason
My life has been so settled and she's 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 I'll get along
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's 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
She's just a girl
She's 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
I'd of topped myself to give her time she didn't need to ask
I'd of topped myself to give her time she didn't need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath? 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
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
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
I'm happy, I'm ecstatic
I'm happy, I'm 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
She's just a girl
She's 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 you're stuck with a castrated leader
And now you're stuck with a castrated leader
And I hate the creep, I didn't mean that
And I hate the creep, I didn't mean that
She's a bomb
She's a bomb
I just said it
I just said it
She's a bomb
She's a bomb
I didn't mean it, please
I didn't mean it, please
She's a bomb
She's 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 she's the reason
My life has been so settled and she's 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
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
