"Monday Again"
formerly "Get Out The Map," Indigo Girls (Emily Saliers)

Somebody will get shot
Bank will explode once more

It's Mulder's chest (I took a peek)
It seems that his waterbed has sprung a nasty leak
Curses at his useless cell phone then he trips over the sneaks
A perfect way to start a brand-new week

Scully checks on Mulder; the endless meeting's in a break
And he needs to go to the bank -- how long could this trip take?
He doesn't count on Bernard, nervous robber on the make
Or Scully comin' through the door...ouch! gunshot's got to ache!

(chorus)
Monday again
Monday again and no one except Pam seems to know
Until they get it right well they'll have to give it another go
Every scenario ends with the bomb revealed just as before
Somebody will get shot
Bank will explode once more
Pam will explain the coming horror but her warnings are ignored

Skinner gives no help to poor Pam, who begs Mulder to leave
And she's tried hiding keys, phone calls and cannot get reprieved
And when she tells Scully to stay away from 8th and E
Feels she's stuck in an endless hell
What can the variable be?

Why not rewind the whole day? Moose & Squirrel talk about fate
One believes in free will, the other character innate
And next round it's deja vu that sparks off the debate
Freudian versus one who argues neurochemical state

Monday again
Monday again and only the little details change
Agents are starting to realize that something's up and it's strange
All this repeating and tragic loss of life must be quite a chore
Somebody still gets shot
Bank still explodes once more
Til the time Mulder sees the score, tells Bernard, walk out the door.

Finally it's Pam who's shot
Mobius strip's no more
Mulder won't tell Scully how or why he knew what was in store.
