We met at the gas station and Qandered round all day Then we went home and Sat sad-eyed in the darkness and played GTA And the people all were simulacrum Just waiting to be slain So I took the Black Hawk helicopter And watched the sun set over San Andreas If I'd only known When I was seventeen Oh what that gesture seems to mean That the world is full Of shimmering fish, and bulls and honey and rain In marched your father with his golden arm With his shirt undone And his heart undone he said "son" And you moved your thumb Got out of the car and unloaded your gun Oh Tom, you were a lonely one In the basement room That your dad blew through Oh Tom Your mother brought us Coca-Cola And so we paused the game Coca-Cola Your character was in mid-air With an expression close to shame And then he fell upon a woman who Appeared to mouth your name And you got in the nearest car And lit right out for the equator If we'd only known when we were seventeen Oh what that gesture seems to mean That the world is full Of shimmering fish and bulls and honey and rain In marched your father with his golden arm With his shirt undone And his heart undone he said "son" And you moved your thumb Got out of the car and unloaded your gun Oh Tom, you were a lonely one In the basement room That your dad blew through Oh Tom In March the crocuses were all in bloom And we got off of the couch And walked out of your room I said "Tom, you see it's true You love the world and the world She loves you"
