I can't help but laugh whenever i hear the part about the guy getting shot, which is kinda grim but the way emily says that entire part is hilarious. Especially when she says "and the now dead guy"

I sing along to most Metric songs, but not this one (maybe just the chorus parts). I just like to sit quietly and listen to Emily's story.

The town where she was born Like 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 Putting her fingers in the ashtray "It's not easy to erase your blood" Rock me now Hmm, 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 it His value declined Ah ah ah ah ah When he offered his name Ah ah ah ah ah His value declined Ah ah ah ah ah When he offered his name Ah ah ah ah ah 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 the two of them and the now dead guy Were the only 3 people who ever 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 It's a one room city, yeah So can you roll with me Roll me out In the arms of cobwebs It's a one room city, yeah His value declined Ah ah ah ah ah When he offered his name. Ah ah ah ah ah It's a one room city, yeah It's a one room city The wall to wall to wall to wall to wall Goes to street to street to street

This is such a strange song. But it’s very cool in its strangeness.

Absolutely! Reminds me of Easter, now that you mention it. The war had begun, and nobody saw it.
