Athena

Athena, I had no idea how much I'd need herIn peaceful times I hold her close and I feed herMy heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrongBut I think I'll get alongShe's just a girl - she's a bombAthena, all I ever want to do is please herMy life has been so settled and she's the reasonJust one word from her and my troubles are long goneBut I think I'll get alongShe's just a girl - she's a bombJust a girl just a girlJust a girl just a girlJust a girl just a girlShe's just a girlAthena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bathI felt like one of those flattened ants you find on a crazy pathI'd of topped myself to give her time she didn't need to askWas I a suicidal psychopath?She's just a girl - she's a bombConsumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stageHe had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cageI felt like a pickled priest who was being flambedYou were requisitioned blondieShe's just a girl - she's a bombI'm happy, I'm ecstaticJust a girl just a girlJust a girl just a girlJust a girl just a girlShe's just a girlLook into the face of a childMeasure how long you smiledBefore the memory claimedHow long would children remainHow long would children remainAthena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her"It felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meterAnd now you're stuck with a castrated leaderAnd I hate the creep, I didn't mean thatShe's a bombI just said itShe's a bombI didn't mean it, pleaseShe's a bombAthena, I had no idea how much I need herMy life has been so settled and she's the reasonJust one word from her and my troubles are long goneBut I get alongShe's just a girl, she's a bombShe's just a girl, she's a bomb
