I present to you my filk of
Joni Mitchell's "Circle Game."

Circle Game

Yesterday young Fox came out to wander
Caught a praying mantis in a jar
Watched TV before there came the thunder
And saw his sister taken to the stars

And the reasons, they go round and round
Why Samantha floated out in her nightgown
She's somewhere out beyond the reach of time
She can't return, Fox can only look
Behind from where he came
Drilling holes to learn the truth of the circle game

Scully's wearing white shirts all the time now
Mulder's lost his suits and all his ties
CHarc is getting sadder every week, now
Who stole the dress code from the FBI?

And the reasons, they go round and round
Why our favorite Fibbies are all dressed down.
What happened to his jeans and her red suit?
We want them back, we want them to look
The way they did before
But spare us the beige, please, give us some Season
Four.

Moose and Squirrel are getting mighty close now,
What goes on during commercial breaks?
Seven years, I guess it must be time now
Give us one kiss and see how much we'll take!

And the reasons, they go round and round
Why our favorite Fibbies are runnin' round
With little touches and those secret smiles
They're doing IT, yes, they really are
How else could we explain?
Why there's no truth left to find in CC's old game!
