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

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 taught 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

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

I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed

You were requisitioned blondie

She's just a girl - she's a bomb

I'm happy, 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 would children remain

Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her"

It 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

But I get along

She's just a girl, she's a bomb

She's just a girl, she's a bomb
