Athena Lyrics By The Who

    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

    just a girl just a girlx
    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 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

    i’m happy i’m ecstatic
    just a girl just a girlx
    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 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

    she’s a bomb
    i just said it
    she is 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 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 bombx
