"Shed Your Skin" lyrics


Words and Music: Amy Ray

115 you are 17 
Itchy trigger and venomous
You're growing longer you're growing stronger
So shed your skin babe now shed this

Come on over now
Come on over baby
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
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

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

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
Let's call it the fullness of time
I don't know what 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

I been lucky to find you
But it's a little too late too soon
When I look in doubt and fire
The spirits I abuse in you
In you
In you

I got the hangman I got milagro
I got the celebration too
Your flesh is strong, my spirit's stronger
So shed your skin baby let it through

Come on over now
Come on over baby
Tell me it's holy holy
I don't know what it is come on over child
I wanna call it the fullness of time
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
Hey holy console me
Some power controls me

Come on over baby
