I should say before I start that Serin is much better than
me at this.  However, I present, as part of James Taylor
Filking Week, Day 2:

That's Why You're Here
(Subtitle:  CSM Explains the Mytharc)

A sorry filk of "That's Why I'm Here."
By James "I wish Kristin Hadn't Opened Her Big Mouth"
Taylor.

Sitting in back of a nondescript van,
I'm face to face with the Smoking man;
he sez, "Listen to me and I'll tell you my plan,
and tell you bout how you fit in."
He sez, "Listen up boy, you're an alien clone --
flew in from space, you're gonna rule the place.
I am your leader, you do as I say,
cause you have to do it all my way,

"That's why you're here.
 Got no other reason, that's why you're here.
 That's why you're here.

"Now, there's Grey ones, there's black ones, and others,
I can't quite figure out who is who.
After the black ones mutate -- or wait,
I think it might be grey to black --
Or no, maybe the Changelings are really okay,
but it could be we've made an alliance with Grey.
And do we like zombies?  Are they on our pay?
Who are you supposed to flambe?

CHORUS

"This is confusing.
I thought I had it written down.
Listen, clone boy, get it straight now,
this'll be on your record.

"Sewing their mouths up is supposed to be good,
it works sometimes, I can't remember when.
Is it when Changelings -- or maybe black ooze?
I know I had it here somewhere.

"Oh, darn it, they told me, I've lost it again,
It's possible you have the strength of seven -- or ten --
And maybe X-ray vision, or an exploding pen,
Well, anyway, you're an alien.

CHORUS

"So go on outside and do what I say,
Carry out every order -- obey!
I've gotta go back to my house in town
and find out where I wrote that down."
