Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Indigo Girls or about the 1990s in general.

You wear the cloth of finest lands,
The touch of women the toil of hands.
Undress me now before I bend,
From the weight of everyman.

When I’m walking through this world,
I need to hold your hand.
Let me take you on this ride,
I hope you understand,
I’m not asking for a compromise.

You defend, exhume, begin again
It’s the riddle of a skeleton.
We’re all diseased so count the coupe,
I can’t imagine stopping you.

When I’m walking through this world,
I need to hold your hand.
Let me take you on this ride,
I hope you understand,
I’m not asking for a compromise.

So the earth we scorch, we breathe,
Find some comfort on our knees.
You find your worth in words that wind,
Pleasures I don’t comprehend.

When I’m walking through this world,
I need to hold your hand.
Let me take you on this ride,
I hope you understand,

I’m not asking for a compromise.
