Conspiracies (was: America, by Paul Simon. 
                   And I do apologize.)

"Let us be partners,
We´ll throw both our cellphones together.
I´ve got some strange ideas
Here in my head."
So we moved into a basement place,
And she never got a desk,
And we started
To look for conspiracies.
"Scully", I said,
As we boarded a Taurus in D.C.,
"Fowley just seems like a dream to me now.
It took me five years
To convince even Skinner.
I´ve gone to look for conspiracies."
Laughing in the diner,
Playing games with the faces,
She said the man in the crumpled rain coat
Was a spy.
I said: "Be careful,
This person is really my father."
"He smokes a cigarette.
I think there´s a hole in his raincoat."
"He killed my informant
A year ago."
So I looked at the railroad track,
She read the traffic signs;
And the moon rose over a large corn field.
"Scully, I´m lost," I said,
Though I knew she had noticed.
"I´m a punk and a fool and
You made me whole."
Counting the UFOs
over Roswell, New Mexico.
They´ve all come
To start colonizing us...
All come to start colonizing us...
