Rock Me Now Lyrics - Grow Up & Blow Away - Metric

EMILY: 

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 

JIMMY: 

Rock me now 

EMILY: 

Ahem, sing with me 

JIMMY: 

In the arms of cobwebs 

Roll me out 

In the arms of cobwebs

EMILY: 

Next 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? 

JIMMY: 

His value declined... 

EMILY: 

Ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah 

Ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah

EMILY: 

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 

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. 

JIMMY: 

Rock me now 

In the arms of cobwebs 

EMILY: 

It's a one-room city, yeah, it's a one-room city here 

So can you roll me 

JIMMY: 

Roll me out 

In the arms of cobwebs 

EMILY: 

It's a one-room city, yeah, it's a one-room city here 

JIMMY: 

His value declined 

EMILY: 

Ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah 

Ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah 

JIMMY: 

When he offered his name 

EMILY: 

You rent a one-room city here, 

It's a one-room city here 

The wall-to-wall-to-wall-to-wall 

Goes street to street to street.
