Let's go down the Lone Gunman

One of our favorite shows has always been The X-Files. We've argued over its finer points on conspiracies, human-alien hybrids, and sheriffs who turn into werewolves for years. Even in its new life of perpetual syndication, it calls to us late at night, daring us to solve the riddle of writer Chris Carter's convoluted vision.

But our favorite characters, The Lone Gunmen, truly needed a theme song worthy of them, so Anthony wrote one. Here it is, sung to the tune of Don Henley's "Sunset Grill". 

Let's go down the Lone Gunman
And watch the Cancer Man go by
Watch the alien hybrids oozing greeenish drizzle
Stare up as the ships fly high

There's a trio who found the secrets
To them they're all the same
Knows that the Con is all to blame

Down at the Lone Gunman
Down at the Lone Gunman

You see a lot more weirdness on 'The X-Files'
The kind that eats them up alive
Hard to get away with anything that looks like evidence
Hard to keep Skinner on their side

These days the Con leads them onward
And they're spinning in one place
Not even one genetic trace

Down at the Lone Gunman
Down at the Lone Gunman

Detectable aliens rarely stay
They get less detectable everyday
Dont worry Fox, the truth's out there
And someday soon
We're gonna hack the right files and reveal it all --

[Solos, weird noises]

Lets go down to the Lone Gunman
Watch the Cancer Man go by
Watch the alien hybrids oozing greenish dribble
Stare up as the ships fly high

And maybe they'll get their own series
Meanwhile, here's another year
What is Chris Carter trying to say here anyways?
Besides, Robert Patrick's here

Down at the Lone Gunman ...
