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…
