More video game Christmas carol parodies. This time around, I based the parody on Same Auld Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg and the storyline of Silent Hill 2. Spoilers if you haven't finished the game.
Same Old Dead Wife
Saw my dead wife in Rosewater Park
It was a foggy Christmas Eve
I stole behind her near the hotdog stand
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
And then she said, "I'm not your Mary"
I tried to head out and she followed me
Shouting "How can you just leave?"
She claimed she didn't know what's going on
And that she needed someone's aid
I stood there lost in my embarrassment
As I only held a plank
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't get to Neely's Bar
We found some juice cans in Woodside Apartments
And we drank it in my car
We drank a toast to surviving
We drank a toast to life
We tried to battle through the dark abyss
But neither one could strike
She was a dancer down at Heaven's Night
Said the tips kept her alive
She would have liked to say she loved the job
But she didn't want to lie
I said she looked exactly like my wife
Except her clothes and hair were too risqué
But when she glared at me I wasn't sure
If she was gonna stay
She said she saw a little girl 'round here
And that we should take her home
I told her I didn't have time for kids
And she could go alone
We drank a toast to survival
We drank a toast to life
We tried to battle through the dark abyss
But neither one could strike
We drank a toast to emptiness
We drank a toast to loss
We gave up battling the mannequins
They were too hard for us
The juice was empty and our tongues were tired
We didn't have much more to say
Maria grabbed some pills and clutched her head
Saying, "I'm just hung over, James"
Just for a moment I went back in time
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I realized she was very ill
She began to slip away…
