Athena Lyrics & Chords By The Who

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
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 topped 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
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
And I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambéed
You got me requisitioned blondie

She's just a girl
She's a bomb (I'm happy)
She's a bomb (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 could children remain?

Athena
You picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her"
I 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
Ooh, but I get along

She's just a girl
She's a bomb
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
