This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Alright, totally stole this from JazzyLemonade. But it looked like fun, and we vIRGins are always looking for silly ways to amuse each other!
So the idea was:

Fancy writing your own song but haven't got the time? Take the first 20 songs on your shuffle player, copy out the first line of each and divide into 4-line stanzas! Then add a title from the first line of the 21st song!
Here goes nothing!
The song is apparently called Feel This Fatal Heartbeat.
A hidden voice beneath the thunder
There's this poem that she wrote
I want to stay in bed all throughout the day
Everybody! Everybody!
Ground Control to Major Tom
Can't stop the creeping inside my bones
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
Kissing a strange hand, the city lights fade
I feel her slipping away
Time, time, time
I wrote you visions of my summer
It's getting late and we're both tired
I would tell you about the things they put me through
I spent my whole life in love with despair
Where were you when I fell from grace?
I don't care if your world is ending today
It's in the water, baby
Riot star!
Shine the headlights straight into my eyes
Pay attention, my love; it's over
Offline
This actually took some time, but it was fun. I don't think the song makes any real sense, but eh.
"The paint's peeling off the streets again"
Suppose you were to die tonight, what would you say?
you wanna get mad, get mad at me, I'm going nowhere
You're so happy now
this is sick
Lets get real comfortable
Said you were leaving on the goodbye service
Why don't you get back into bed?
jimmy kane
You're always ahead of the game
Walk you to the counter
This is no great illusion
Chase your dreams away
When it's pretty much your first time
and the tears fall like rain
Hang on the falling edge of the reason
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Offline
Suspended In Time
Whenever I sang my songs
And I feel that time's a wasted go
So hush now baby made a start
Just stop enough of the limitless critical comments on my life
A moving stream of information
Feel the darkness smiling
Don't say good-bye don't even think about it
I traced the footsteps through the multi-colored avenues
And there's nothing I can do now
You are lost and confused
I was crazy about you
Oh, I know it's strange
I shortened it to 12 lines

"At Night I Hear it Creeping"
Walk away from the sun come slowly undone
We were sitting around a dying fire
Well I've packed my bags
I know my uses, I have my pride
Television in disgrace
Last night I saw that beauty queen
I will be the answer
Oh no I just keep on falling
I don't know if it was real or in a dream
I could be mean
I never claimed to be your saviour
Hold on hold on to yourself
Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence
It's time to let go
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Staring at the sun
You look so fine
Shout shout let it all out
I wish I was king of the world
Wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head
Offline
Acid Queen
You will regret the day that you took away
Help, I need somebody
I will never live this down
All the leaves are brown
Set me free, why don't you babe?
It's been a long road
When the day is long and the night
Life is bigger
Outside another yellow moon
I can't believe the news today
There must be some way out of here said the joker to the thief
I ain't lookin' to compete with you
When I get to the bottom
We're leaving together
You let me violate you
Day by day, dream by dream
Floatin’ down the river
To a place where I feel the cold
I’m trying to tell you something about my life
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

What a fun idea! My last three stanzas came up crap, so I'll omit them, but here are the first two, translating from Japanese or Russian as appropriate. Surprising unity of symbolism in the second stanza, and setting across stanzas.
A Few More Hours
Two of us riding nowhere.
Baby, I'm still hurting; I can't turn the other cheek.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting such a long time,
Climbed out the window, and stared at the stars.
Men in a war:
When blood sees blood of its own,
When a man dies, everything disappears with him.
Every single night, the same arrangement.

Many nights we prayed
Three li'l birds sat on my window
Where is the moment we're needed the most?
Do you folks like coffee?
You think I'm an ignorant Savage
Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention pleeeaaaase
She's says she no good with words, but I'm worse
I remember when, I remember I remember when I lost my mind
Look at me I'm Sandra Dee
Summer has come and passed
Oh, you touch my tralala
Wa mono, there's me there's you
Take a look at my girlfriend
Weak lookin' boy, you slow lookin' boy
My life is brilliant
I'm bringing sexy back
Coming out of my cage
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
Ready steady never look back
I want to shine on you
.................................................................................
WOW....

I have NEVER gotten so many instrumental and karaoke songs at once EVER.
This Is the Inflatable Woman's Sadness
The man of shadows thinks in clay
White rose, red rose
Alone for a while
Tip tap, love is always candy
I'd listen to the words he'd say
Oh Mickey you're so fine
If I needed someone to love
The absolute destiny apocalypse
Heroically with bravery I'll live life (combo!)
You hold your breath
Give me your hand
RUMBA RUMBA RUMBA RUMBA RUMBA
Lost in the darkness
I am Sophia
Say goodbye to me
(This line is J.A. Seazer moaning.)
When two people are in love
Something more than words
Now here I stand
One more time

...okay, is it me, or does that actually sort of make sense? or at least the last few stanzas? maybe it's just the dream/mean slant rhyme, or maybe i'm just really sober right now.

Sounds great!~~~
This is called Waves of People Who Walk Past One Another(???).
I'm in the mood for dancin'
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I wanna run in sugar rain
Come on baby
Oh, oh, my sweet candy pop
What can I do
A silvery shining town
La, la, la, la, la
Every night I rest in my bed
Look with your big eyes
Try to tell me what I shouldn't do
Darling will you always stay by my side like strawberry cream soda pop
In a shining white town
I always took the easy way
Fruit corn flakes
No one has anything to say (<--- guess what song that was xD)

This song is called "Hungry Scalpel"
Sitting in the dark I cant forget.
Hush little baby dont make a sound.
When dark days came to us.
There are no finger prints deep under water.
I cant see your star.
Sorry, that fuckin Amber cleaned me out.
You can only move as fast as who's in front of you.
I am a dominate gene.
How did we ever go this far?
All your twisted thoughts free-float.
You investigate the murders.
12/08/73: That was all I got now you got me.
I did my time and I want out.
Im sick of the excuses that you want me to believe.
Looking out across the night-time.
There's a game life plays.
Everybody everybody s-s-stand up.
The state of the nation: VIOLATION!
You did not understand the question.
Nas Ne Dagoniat.
There are few that deny at what I do I am the best.
Years, it's been so many years.
All this weeping in the air.
Contrite,commercial,arrogance,leprosy.
(Well verse 3 tried to make sense)

This sounds nice. Since nearly all songs I like are Japansese songs, so I'll post the translation and the hiragana side by side.
Thank you Anime Lyrics dot Com for all lyrics and translations.
The Rain Falls (Ame ga Furu)
We'll dash through the sky to the future (Sora o kakete mirai e to)
Peep me with a chemical scope (KEMIKARU SUKOOPU de)
Put on the collar of roses, and bite upon the silver chain (bara no kubiwa tsunagete gin no kusari kuwaete)
Please do not speak the spell-like words yet (mada iwanaide jumon meita sono kotoba)
My heart is always full of dreams (itsumo yume wo kono mune ni afuresasete)
I'm beautiful and stylish and there's no fault in me (uruwa shiki Stylish monku no tsukeyou mo nai wa)
We're seeking our endless dreams in a world with no guidance... (Hatenaki yume motomeru shirube naki sekai de...)
This rose is our destiny, ripping us apart (This rose is our destiny hikisakare)
Natural light (Manzou raito)
I quietly warm the gentleness that (Te no hira no ue ni, sotto noseta)
Do you remember that day? (Oboete imasu ka? Ano hi wo)
How can a seed of happiness (Koufuku no tane ikaga to)
Tell me, the object of your greatest desire (Ichiban no negaigoto oshiete)
Hop step jump (HOPPU SUTEPPU JYANPU)
I'm going to tell you a secret (naisho de oshieteageru kara)
In the empty stage (daremo irai STAGE)
Your shadow, like the stars (kimi no kage hoshi no you ni)
Following the trail sketched when we were young (Aoi toki egaku kiseki tadori)
I can hear your voice crying for me (Cry for me, kimi no koe ga kikoeteru)
On the day the earth began, under the tree of life (sekai no hajimari no hi inochi no ki no shita de)
This is funny and random enough. I can keep on making dozens of songs like this

I modified the rules slightly in the hopes of making a song with more coherent lyrics.
I will still do the random song thing but now I will choose whatever line would suit it best, only the first line will still used to start things off thou.
Run All The Way!
Inside this fantasy
You've grown so deep inside of me
You got me scorched where I'd forgotten there was fire
Still as the thoughts are running through your mind
You let me be your enemy
But without me you're only you
I'm alive
Until the sun comes creepin' through
Somebody said it's wrong but I know it's all right
Now everybody is on the run
Since I was born
Now I need a place to hide away
It's a hard luck story, don't know where to begin
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
I know that people talk about me, I hear it every day
When you lose control and you got no soul
You're a prisoner of the dark sky
Journey to the dead of night
We'll find the land of the midnight sun
We're gonna disappear
