Doorway

Insp: THE MOVIE. BEWARE!

(The) Scully who stands in the doorway
Is a Scully that I know I have not seen before,
'Cause I've seen her beat and disheveled,
But I've never seen her look like defeat in a war.
And she turns to me with her lips half-parted,
Her eyes dark blue like the troubled heart of flame.

(The) Scully who stands in the doorway
Says, "Salt Lake City, effective today.
Now Skinner's got my resignation.
I almost didn't tell you I'm going away."
And she turns to me with her lips half-parted,
Her eyes dark blue like the troubled heart of flame.

  And she says, "I've really only held you back."
  And she says, "You know that's why they got me assigned.
  Debunk you, rein you in, and keep you off track."
  And I say, "You want to tell yourself that, fine."

The Scully who turns in the hallway
Is a Scully who is scattered and shattered and lost
Till I raise my voice, then she holds on --
Argues what she gives me is something I'm cost.
And she turns to me with her lips half-parted,
Her eyes dark blue like the troubled heart of flame.

  And I say, "You've saved me now a thousand times."
  And I say, "You've kept me honest; you made me whole.
  You owe me nothing; I owe you everything;
  And I don't know if I can go on alone."

The Mulder who stands in the hallway
Is a Mulder that I know she has not seen before.
I have told her the truth and it touched her,
And she's trying to believe. Is she losing the war?
Then she turns to me with her lips half-parted,
Her eyes dark blue like the troubled heart of flame.
