Metric - Rock Me Now

Rock Me Now Artist: Metric Album: Grow Up And Blow Away 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 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 (Ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah) When he offered his name His value declined (Ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah) When he offered his name His value declined (Ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah) When he offered his name His value declined (Ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah) When he offered his name 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 black-jack 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 complementary shrimp cocktail And left Rock me now In the arms of cobwebs (It's a one room city, yeah) (It's a one room city, yeah) (So can you roll me) Roll me out In the arms of cobwebs (It's a one room city, yeah) (It's a one room city, yeah) His value declined (Ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah) When he offered his name You rent a one room city here It's a one room city here The wall to wall to wall to wall Go street to street to street - Content licensed by ROBA Music Publishing. https://www.roba.com/music-licensing/ We own commercial licenses for all the content used in this video.
