"Life on Mars?" 
(Title unchanged, sorry Mr. Bowie)

It's a god-awful big affair
To the girl with the bright-red hair
But her partner is yelling "Scully!"
And her conscience has told her to go
But her science is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks on the African beach
In the suit with the beigest hue
And she's hooked to the PUNKy thing--
But the scene is a frightening shore
Though she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of aliens
As they ask her to focus on

Ratboys skulking in the shadows--
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Cancerman
Shooting down his own son
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the most hyped-up show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's foolish brow
That Mulder Mouse has grown up a freak
Now the truth-seekers have struck for names
'Cause the Consortium's around again--
See the Fowl in her Playtex bra
From Cancerman to Mulder's Broad
Rule of Occam is out of bounds
To Chris Carter, Spotsy, and FOX
But the scene is a foreign shore
And they wrote it ten times or more!
Let's hope it's not writ again
As they ask you to focus on

Ratboys skulking in the shaodws
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Cancerman
Shooting down his own son
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the most hyped-up show
Is there life on Mars?
