The Who — Athena

[Verse 1] Athena, I had no idea how much I would 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 will 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 is 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 [Chorus] Just a girl, just a girl[x3] She's just a girl [Verse 2] 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 would of topped myself to give her time she did not 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 got me requisitioned Blondie She's just a girl – she's a bomb [Chorus] I'm happy, I'm ecstatic Just a girl, just a girl[x3] She's just a girl [Verse 3] 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" It felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter And now you are stuck with a castrated leader And I hate the creep, I didn't mean that [Bridge] She's a bomb I just said it She is a bomb I didn't mean it, please She's a bomb [Outro] Athena, I had no idea how much I need her My life has been so settled and she is 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[x2]
