lyrics

I can hear my cousins and brothers
They are playing on the trampoline
I am holding a plastic controller
Staring at a TV screen
And I have got a series of problems
That I need to solve
And I have got a couple of levels
Until I am ready to evolve

And it’s Christmas Day, thirty-five degrees
I am rolling up both my sleeves
Because I have got some work to do
If I am going to rescue you

Do you remember Christmas ‘98?
When we unwrapped that new console
And suddenly the world around us
Was three-dimensional
They say you never really know someone
Until you ascertain their skill
At multiplayer Goldeneye
Facility, one-hit kill

And it’s Christmas Day, thirty-five degrees
I am rolling up both my sleeves
Because I have got some work to do
If I am going to rescue you

And I never felt more like a kid
Than when we were playing Alex Kidd

And I thought that this was supposed to be
A time of forgiveness
But it looks like video games
Have once again saved Christmas
Let’s close the door
And just let everything disappear
And I don’t know how long
That this feeling can last
But video games
Are my link to the past
And the way we’re playing
We’ll be finished by the new year

And it’s Christmas Day with a chance of rain
I am stuck in Forest Temple again
Because I don’t have a good walkthrough
How am I going to rescue you?
