Rock Me Now

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 JIMMY: When he offered his name EMILY: Ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah 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 JIMMY: When he offered his name 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.
