"Compromise" lyrics - INDIGO GIRLS

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

Now you
Defend
Exhume
Begin again
It's the riddle of a skeleton

We're all
Diseased
So count the coup
I can't image 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 scorched
We breathe
We find some comfort on our knees

You find
Your worth
In words that wind
Pleasures I don't comprehend

When I'm walking trough 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
Asking for a compro
Asking for a compromise
