Henry Jamison – In March lyrics

[Verse 1]
We met at the gas station and wandered 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
If we'd only known when we were seventeen
Oh what that gesture seems to mean
That the world is full
Of shimming fish and bulls and honey and rain

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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."
