The Academy Song

(Sung to Savage Garden's The Animal Song)

By: Chiisana Rose

Chiisana sits on a large pile of random articles of clothing on her roommate's floor, typing away at the WebTV keyboard, and being squashed by a fat white cat that looks suspiciously like Tama from Fushugi Yugi. She looks down to check that her Utena artbook is still firmly taped to her body. "Well... here I am again, with another song parody, resulting of total and utter boredom and dementia..." Chiisana stuffs a forkful of birthday cake into her mouth , saving the frosting rose to be frozen later. "This time the poor musicians who are to be victim of my Utenization are... hmm..." she mumbled, bits of cake flying here and there, being collected by your squadron of random Chuchu's. " I think Savage Garden will be my victims this time!"

When lunatics and duelist girls are pounding in your head,
You trudge along to classes just wishing you were in your bed,
Akio makes me nervous, he really makes me alarmed,
Got to run away so I don't have to get in his car I want to live, like a duellist girl,
And be Akio-free, like duelist girls.
I want to live.
I want to run through the Castle with a rose in my hair and the boys at my feet.
I've been having difficulties keeping my hands to myself,
I think I'll take my duelist ring an put it back on the shelf,
Animals chase Nanami, that's the truth I cannot lie,
Is she really human?
There's thought, now you decide.
Revolution in the castle,
The Revolution is in your hands.
I would like to fight a duel for it,
And for the Rose Bride.
I want to live like duelist girls,
And be Akio-free, like duelist girls.
I want to run through the Castle with a rose in my hair and the boys at my feet.
Sometimes the fights can get you down,
It's confusing, how many duels have to follow?
But I still do it so that the power will be mine.
When lunatics and duelist girls are pounding through you head,
You trudge along to classes just wishing you were in your bed,
Animals chase Nanami, that's the truth I cannot lie,
Is she really human?
There's a thought, now you decide,
Revolution in the castle,
The Revolution is in your hands,
I would like to fight a duel for it,
And for the Rose Bride.
(Chorus)
