Do You Remember The Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you remember the scene
Remember the scene of the crime
The scene of the crime of a love
A crime of a love gone down
Do you remember the time
Remember the time of the year
The time of the year was the spring
The year was the spring of our ruin
Let's assume that some folks may be expendable
The better is the enemy of the good
Dont'cha ask perfection of your trophy wife
Dont'cha take no chances with your trophy life
Do you remember the one
Remember the one in a million
The one in a million affair
The one with the glorious prospects
Do you remember the shade
The shade of the sky which is burning
Black was the shade in retreat
Blue was the color returning
Let's imagine some guy driving a coffee truck
Yet he dares to dream the impossible dream
Better have some answers for your trophy wife
Better not get cozy with your trophy life
Do you remember the face
The face of such graceful dimension
The one that you wore in the world
It was such a lovely invention
Do you remember the name
Remember the name of the man
The name of the man who tried hard
"immemorious" was his name-o
