You can't fully appreciate the parody if you don't know the original.

AS USUAL
Alex Zanetis, 1964

The sun comes up and brings the dawn, as usual.
When I awake, I find you gone, as usual;
But I can't find the way to let
This crazy heart of mine forget.
I pretend you're still beside me, as usual.

Each evening I take a walk, as usual.
I make believe that we still talk, as usual.
People always stop and stare.
I guess they just don't see you there.
Don't they know you'll always be right here, as usual?

Today I looked into my mirror, as usual.
I told myself that you're still here, as usual.
And as I stood there, telling lies,
The tears began to fill my eyes,
'Cause I know I'm only fooling myself, as usual.
