"Proof"
with apologies to Paul Simon*
Soon we'll discover the truth, my partner
And we will ditch this loathsome FBI
You will find your sister and discover who's behind this black game -
I'll know who shot my sister and why.
It's true - the X-Files wear you down
Like water
Through stone canyons --
Nothing keeps you sane.
Sometimes I see the face of
Emily, my daughter,
And her eyes always mirror my pain.
Proof
Mulder, people gonna call you up
Tell you to trust no one but them
Proof
Contacts all go crazy on you
Say "No man, you got them
Killed; this is not
The deal we made, I got to go"
Faith
Faith is your father with a smoking gun
But proof, yes
Proof is the bottom line for everyone
Do they come from space?
Don't matter anymore.
We're in too deep
To go out the front door.
Proof
Mulder, people gonna call you up
Tell you not to trust no one but them
Proof
Contacts all go crazy on you
Say "No man, you got them
Killed; this is not
The deal we made, I got to go"
Faith
Faith is the whole world against the one
But proof, yes
Proof is the bottom line for everyone
They may have thought they burned us out, my partner
but from the ashes our proof will soar.
We've seen too many things to quit now, my partner -
and I bet we'll see whole lot more.**
Proof
Mulder, people gonna call you up
Tell you not to trust no one but them
Proof
Contacts all go crazy on you
Say "No man, you got them
Killed; this is not
The deal we made, I got to go"
Faith
Faith is nice, but it won't get the job done.
But proof, yes
Proof is the bottom line for everyone
