Sceptical (Ponte/Chávarri) 2005

Gillian Anderson: "... and, you know, a lot of people ask me in
interviews whether I am as skeptical as the character of Scully
is and most of the time I say, no, I'm pretty openminded and
spontaneous and I don't - something doesn't have to be proven
to me in order for me to believe it. But here is a definite case
where I had to see somebody sitting on a toilet with a naked
bum in order to believe that people actually do it." (*)

Pale looking girl, you've got Rosemary's eyes.
Skinny as a spectre, there is fear in your smile.
"I want to believe"... You're in search for a sign.
They call you the psychic, I call you the crow.

I'm sceptical about this fourth dimension
That you seem to think you have come from;
But I can't help to turn my head
When I hear your footsteps in the dark.

That queer looking lad in the shades of your house
Could really be Uncle John as a ghost.
He talks through your dreams and he wants to get back.

But it's in bad taste to get me involved
In your plans for reincarnation.
If you don't mind I'll turn your offer down;
I'd like to have a life of my own.

I'm sceptical about the fourth dimension
That your friends seem to have come from;
But I can't help to turn my head
When I hear you whisper in the dark.
