lyrics
Athena came down
wearing a gown and a halo of stars
She got off the L
took one look around and went straight to the bars
Rented an apartment
on Kent and Metropolitan
Bent on getting drunk in her room
All the painted lovers
dressed in pretty colors
Messing up crystalline view
People are going to do what they do
Outside her door
The world she ignored was a deafening noise
Nobody blinks
Nobody thinks about the things they destroy
Glitter from the rooftops
Littering the sidewalks
Royals throwing crumbs to the hordes
They built another hi-rise
Blocking out the moonlight
Who can even tell anymore
People will always do things you deplore
Athena come down
Let's light up the town
Let's free ourselves from ourselves
Don't let them deny you
Let me untie you
Let yourself come unbound
Lay down on the linens
It's only the beginning
The city gets a little too hard
Don't let them rip your heart out
Don't become a burnout
You were made from millions of stars
People are going to be what they are
Oh, they can't kill you
You're one of the gods
wearing a gown and a halo of stars
She got off the L
took one look around and went straight to the bars
Rented an apartment
on Kent and Metropolitan
Bent on getting drunk in her room
All the painted lovers
dressed in pretty colors
Messing up crystalline view
People are going to do what they do
Outside her door
The world she ignored was a deafening noise
Nobody blinks
Nobody thinks about the things they destroy
Glitter from the rooftops
Littering the sidewalks
Royals throwing crumbs to the hordes
They built another hi-rise
Blocking out the moonlight
Who can even tell anymore
People will always do things you deplore
Athena come down
Let's light up the town
Let's free ourselves from ourselves
Don't let them deny you
Let me untie you
Let yourself come unbound
Lay down on the linens
It's only the beginning
The city gets a little too hard
Don't let them rip your heart out
Don't become a burnout
You were made from millions of stars
People are going to be what they are
Oh, they can't kill you
You're one of the gods
