[Verse 1]
One hundred fifteen
You are seventeen
Itchy trigger
And venomous
You're growing longer
You're growing stronger
So shed your skin
Baby, now shed this
[Chorus]
Come on over now
Come on over baby
You tell me it's holy holy
I don't know what it is
Come on over now
Let's call it the fullness of time
And I don't know what it is
Come on over now
Hey holy
Console me
Some power
Controls me
Remorse it
I force it
Can't free it
So be it
[Verse 2]
I'm speaking in tongues
Handling you
I got religion, now look at it
The days grow longer
As we grow stronger
So shed your skin baby
Let it rip
[Chorus]
Come on over now
Come on over baby
Tell me it's holy holy
I don't know what that is
Come on over child
I call it the fullness of time
I don't know if it is
Come on over now
Hey holy
Console me
Some power
Controls me
Remorse it
I force it
Don't free it
Just be it
Just be it
Just be it
[Bridge]
I'm looking to find you
But it's a little too late too soon
And I look and doubt if I
[?]
In you
In you
[Verse 3]
I got the hangman
I got milagro
I got the celebration too
The flesh is strong
My spirit's stronger
So shed your skin
Baby, let it through
[Chorus]
Come on over now
Come on over baby
Tell me it's holy holy
Like I don't know what it is
Come on over child
I want to call it the fullness of time
I don't know what that is
Come on over now
Hey holy
Console me
Some power
Controls me
Remorse it
I force it
Can't free it
So be it
Hey holy
Console me
Some power
Controls me
[Outro]
Come on over baby
Shed Your Skin was written by Amy Ray.
Shed Your Skin was produced by Indigo Girls & David Leonard (Producer).
Amy Ray told Curve Magazine in 1998:
I wrote ‘Shed Your Skin’ after my breakup with my ex about how important it is to go do your thing and celebrate it and celebrate yourself. The growth we experience through all that pain is really important. The Indian stuff enters into it, because it was happen...
