Athaeneum Street
Lyrics written by Neil O'Brien
I really shouldn't be here / But I just had to get away
Tension is building inside me / And I swear I'm going insane
I feeling flushed and dizzy / As I'm standing in the rain
My heart is beating hard and fast / And I'm dangerously out of phase
Total fear and loathing / As I walk up Athaeneum Street
Car pulls out and breaks hard / As I'm trying to drag my feet
And all the professional gentlemen / Are watching me with distaste
Or maybe I'm just being paranoid / About the sick look on my face
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck / Oh Christ, I'm falling apart
My legs are going to collapse / Under the dead-weight that is my heart
And all these fucking yuppies / Will cross the road and walk on by
Leave me here like roadkill / Beneath this grey, remorseless sky
It's a panic attack / On Athaeneum Street
Panic attack / On Athaeneum Street
Panic attack / On Athaeneum Street
Panic attack / It's a panic attack
