Rock Me Now
The town where she was born,
like town where I was born was built by
white settlers seeking gold and other treasures.

dipping her fingers into the ashtray, "It's not easy to erase your blood."
Rock me now

When she was 7 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

And that night her mom said that the two of them and

Rock me now in the arms of cobwebs
(It's a one room city, yeah)
Roll me out in the arms of cobwebs
(So can you roll with me?)
His value declined when he offered his name.
It's a one room city the wall to wall to wall to wall
goes to street to street to street
