Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
electric; palm mute
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
acoustic
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
electric
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 just a girl, she's a bomb
Just a girl, just a girl--l (Just a)
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 ribcage
And I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You've got me requisitioned, blondie
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
Just a girl...
|A/C# D |
She's just a girl...
horn solo
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 lapel 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....
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 think I'll get along
