Metric - Rock Me Now lyrics
[Metric - Rock Me Now lyrics]
The town where she was born
Like the town where I was born was built
By white settlers seeking gold
And other treasures like me
She feels uncomfortable in the
Clothing of her ancestors
"It's not easy, " she would say
Ripping her fingers into the ashtray
"It's not easy to erase your blood"
Rock me now (sing with me)
In the arms of cobwebs
Roll me out in the arms of cobwebs
Once, she found a man to treasure and
Together they'd planted flowers of warning
Fearing frost late on shallow evenings while
Their enemies slept
They hammered the soil asking
For answers in green
His value declined when he offered his name
Why did he offer?
His value declined when he offered his name
His value declined when he offered his name
(His fend gets spread on
Sitting on the avenue
Blame it on the dump truck
Blame it on the fuel transient, Transient
Everybody owes
Living on the dump truck, Living on fuel)
When she was seven years old, she
Saw a man get shot
But no one came for a long time because it
Happened in a remote parking lot in Las Vegas
And she was waiting for her
Mom to come back from
Working the blackjack table at
The Circus Circus casino and that night
Her mom said that the two of
Them and the now dead guy
Were the only three people who ever
Really lived in Las Vegas
Everybody else just arrived, ate
Their complimentary shrimp cocktail
And left
Rock me now in the arms of cobwebs
(it's a one room city, yeah)
Roll me out (so can you roll with me?)
In the arms of cobwebs
(it's a one room city, yeah)
His value declined when he offered his name
It's a one room city, yeah
It's a one room city, yeah
The wall to wall to wall to wall
Goes to street to street to street
Like the town where I was born was built
By white settlers seeking gold
And other treasures like me
She feels uncomfortable in the
Clothing of her ancestors
"It's not easy, " she would say
Ripping her fingers into the ashtray
"It's not easy to erase your blood"
Rock me now (sing with me)
In the arms of cobwebs
Roll me out in the arms of cobwebs
Once, she found a man to treasure and
Together they'd planted flowers of warning
Fearing frost late on shallow evenings while
Their enemies slept
They hammered the soil asking
For answers in green
His value declined when he offered his name
Why did he offer?
His value declined when he offered his name
His value declined when he offered his name
(His fend gets spread on
Sitting on the avenue
Blame it on the dump truck
Blame it on the fuel transient, Transient
Everybody owes
Living on the dump truck, Living on fuel)
When she was seven years old, she
Saw a man get shot
But no one came for a long time because it
Happened in a remote parking lot in Las Vegas
And she was waiting for her
Mom to come back from
Working the blackjack table at
The Circus Circus casino and that night

It's a one room city, yeah
It's a one room city, yeah
