[00:23.04]We met at the gas station and
[00:26.49]Qandered round all day
[00:28.67]Then we went home and
[00:30.48]Sat sad-eyed in the darkness and played GTA
[00:35.68]And the people all were simulacrum
[00:38.50]Just waiting to be slain
[00:41.43]So I took the Black Hawk helicopter
[00:44.07]And watched the sun set over San Andreas
[00:47.16]If I'd only known
[00:49.86]When I was seventeen
[00:52.41]Oh what that gesture seems to mean
[00:57.04]That the world is full
[00:58.52]Of shimmering fish, and bulls and honey and rain
[01:09.38]In marched your father with his golden arm
[01:14.01]With his shirt undone
[01:16.86]And his heart undone he said "son"
[01:22.88]And you moved your thumb
[01:25.83]Got out of the car and unloaded your gun
[01:31.29]Oh Tom, you were a lonely one
[01:37.25]In the basement room
[01:39.96]That your dad blew through
[01:42.81]Oh Tom
[01:57.68]Your mother brought us Coca-Cola
[02:00.47]And so we paused the game
[02:03.69]Coca-Cola
[02:05.21]Your character was in mid-air
[02:07.40]With an expression close to shame
[02:09.32]And then he fell upon a woman who
[02:13.59]Appeared to mouth your name
[02:16.56]And you got in the nearest car
[02:19.02]And lit right out for the equator
[02:22.03]If we'd only known when we were seventeen
[02:27.35]Oh what that gesture seems to mean
[02:31.90]That the world is full
[02:33.31]Of shimmering fish and bulls and honey and rain
[02:44.14]In marched your father with his golden arm
[02:48.80]With his shirt undone
[02:51.74]And his heart undone he said "son"
[02:57.72]And you moved your thumb
[03:00.67]Got out of the car and unloaded your gun
[03:06.11]Oh Tom, you were a lonely one
[03:12.13]In the basement room
[03:14.72]That your dad blew through
[03:17.63]Oh Tom
[04:05.41]In March the crocuses were all in bloom
[04:10.04]And we got off of the couch
[04:12.98]And walked out of your room
[04:15.60]I said "Tom, you see it's true
[04:21.88]You love the world and the world
[04:25.29]She loves you"
