Spooky Mulder the Rogue

(to Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)

Look out, they’re gonna fly down
Saucers are going to land
I think they’ll do us some harm
Or can you trust a three fingered man?

A secret won't last you forever
I’m seeking the noble truth
It won’t be pleasant when the doors will open
This Fox won’t run or be fleein’ the coop

I’m Spooky Mulder, the rogue
On the case for the strange that confound
They placed me here in the X-Files
A bargain like dear old Faust

Seek out the strangers that roam in the woods
Or in the ivory tow’rs
Oh, I’d like to ride with the saucer guys
Above our orbiting globe.

I know I’ve got a dear friend
She’s questioning me all the same
She will scoff when I show her a necklace of garlic
Will save her pretty neck again

Skinner might get a replacement
I’ve plenty of mags to be browsed
Monsters, our world’s got a plenty
Least so I’m told, but there’s none that I’ve found

I’m Spooky Mulder, the rogue
On the prowl for societies wild
A tale surreal or it ends foul
In eerie rooms and locales

Tales unexplained should be solved if they could
Baking my frontal brain lobes
So I’m lifting my eyes to the starry skies
To find the government’s role.

Scully

(to the song Sunny by Bobby Hebb)

Scully
Unexplained phenoms must be explained
Scully
You seem to be Fox Mulder’s ball and chain

Oh, the dark shadows come
With the answers so near
Our Scully finds
No ev’dence here

Oh, Scully,
Facts, when few,
Won’t sway you.

Scully
Skinner tends to keep wolves at bay
Scully
There’s a smoking man who blocks your way

Mulder extrudes,
From facts so small,
Theories obscure.
He’s so enthralled

Oh Scully
Though aloof
He’s no goof.

Scully
See the lonely gunmen on the case
Scully
Mel Frohike wants to lick your face

You are the one
Odd creature’s love
See them enjoy
Your latex gloves.

Scully
For your truth
You need proof.

Scully
Bodies on the slab hold truths unseen.
Scully
Did you see the worm in that guy’s spleen?

Your life is torn
Tween faith and fact
Even when tall
Green goons attack

Scully
One more clue
We love you.
