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
