We've passed this way before - rolled down the window for some air - and got smacked in the face with some horse shit from seemingly nowhere. I'd like to believe this time is different. His malfeasance and ignorance can't be shrugged away. But I wouldn't wager much on it.

But why does it have to be sooo fucking long!?
When you titled this post 'Do You Remember' - I had a flashback to a song of yours - Mirror Ball. These are the lyrics I got (not sure in red) -
Well, it's your face that keeps me up all night
A deer caught short, stranded in the headlights
It's my sleep, broken like a glass
It's a motel scene/ceiling showing pictures from the past
It's your lovin', your lovin' that I miss
At nights like these, spendin' lost in your kiss.
It's these people, they're so happy in this place
They're drivin' me crazy, they're dancin' round your mirror ball.
Well, maybe I'm lost, and maybe I'm desperate.
And maybe I don't know who I am
Maybe I'm in love, and maybe it's hopeless
Maybe I did the best I can.
But these are our lives scattered round this room
Reflected in the mirror ball
And when I close my eyes, it's you.
Dancin' round the mirror ball
When I close my eyes, it's you
Dancin' round the mirror ball.
But I found out, found out that I'm a fool
I let my cock do all the thinkin' and I might've lost you
I can't heal, cause it's where we used to go.
When we were still the people that we used to know
This is a joke, I've been set up for a laugh
I'm the prodigal son, and I'm the fatty cat.
But I'm not laughin', I'm not laughin' not this time
I'm starin' at the mirror ball, and I'm losin' my mind
But maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm desperate.
Maybe I don't know who I am
And maybe I'm in love, and maybe it's hopeless
And maybe I did the best I can.
But these are our lives scattered round this room
Reflected in the mirror ball
And when I close my eyes, it's you.
Dancin' round the mirror ball
When I close my eyes, it's you
Dancin' round the mirror ball.
Dancin' round the mirror ball
Where the Mexican summer dies hard
Hurricane of birds go sailin' out to sea.
I slip out to play some blackjack back in the bar
Mona, do you remember?
Mona, do you remember when?
When desire ruled our bodies and our minds?
Mona, do you remember?
Mona, do you remember when?
Did we leave all that behind?
These are our lives scattered round this room.
Reflected in the mirror ball.
And when I close my eyes, it's you.
Dancin' round the mirror ball.
When I close my eyes, it's you.
Dancin' round the mirror ball.
When I close my eyes, it's you.
Dancin' round the mirror ball.
When you're dancin' round the mirror ball.
