N*E*R*V*

by Shunsuke -|||

(as would be sung by Misato Katsuragi to the tune of 
 W*O*L*D*, written and recorded by Harry Chapin)



Hello, Kaji, it's me
What do you think you're doing back here in Tokyo?
Why'd you come back when I'd forgotten you long ago?

Remember how back in college, 
I said "Gehirn's the place to be",
And how I got a job as an Project Head, 
Working for Gendo Ikari

I'm watching two kids, I have no time for jocks,
And all your running around,
It's been eight years since I left you baby, 
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down...

Chorus:
      I am Major Katsuragi at N*E*R*V*
      Warring with the Angels, 
      Whatever they may be
      The drunken morning voice, 
      Who guides EVAs 0 to 3,
      Fighting off the Angels in the year 2014

The drinking I did before my last big gig, 
It angered Ritsuko,
She reamed me out in front of Aoba,
Maya and Makoto

So I drifted on down to Central Dogma
To learn what I didn't know,
Now I've found that NERV isn't what is seemed, 
You'd better tell me what you know
-And not without my clothes!

      I am Major Katsuragi at N*E*R*V*
      Warring with the Angels, 
      Whatever they may be
      The drunken morning voice, 
      Who guides EVAs 0 to 3,
      Fighting off the Angels in the year 2014

Bridge: (sung by Kaji)
      I'm working on the side for the JASDF,
      I'm a small-time sort-of spy,
      You should hear me talking to the pilot children, 
      See the twinkle in Asuka's eyes

      I've got a list of lies inside of my head
      As long as my ponytail,
      There's an order I was given by Seele,
      And I'm a dead man if I fail....

Sometimes I get this crazy dream 
You and I'll take off in my car
But you can travel on ten thousand miles, 
Third impact hits wherever you are

Thinking that I should forget my revenge
Get married or something more,
Maybe I could settle down, 
If you'd take me back once more

Okay, Kaji, you see?
It's too late for you and me,
I'm glad, old friend, you understand, 
Instrumentality is so close at hand....

      N*E*R*V*...
      N*E*R*V*...
      N*E*R*V*...
      N*E*R*V*...

      I am Major Katsuragi at N*E*R*V*
      Warring with the Angels, 
      Whatever they may be
      The drunken morning voice, 
      Who guides EVAs 0 to 3,
      Fighting off the Angels in the year 2014
