oh, Athena

chorus:
oh, Athena
please get me out of this city
and their intoxicating lights
oh, Athena
won't you weave me something pretty
to capture the moonlight

oh, Athena I'm so scared
they bleach their teeth and faces and hair
the grass is sold
on a roll
what else can
they control ?

oh, Athena where's the love ?
fading starlight from above
can't shine through
and morning dew
dries up the sun
must pollute

chorus

oh, Athena the city calls
these people hide behind painted walls
the clouds look starved
like Hallmark cards
in potted trees
their names are carved

chorus

cause it can't penetrate the filter of the sky
I'm curled up like a leaf here tell me why
I'll break just like the rain from the sky

oh, Athena, why did you make me this strong ?
oh, Athena, tell me have we been waiting long ?
oh, Athena, where do I find flowers anymore ?
without drugs and sex and manicures they get bored

oh, Athena, if they'll all die in the swimming pool
oh, Athena, take me to the ocean
where'd they get the notion
that divinity is just a tool ?
