11 Months In the Bath of Dirty Spirits Lyrics by Peter Himmelman

Skin

1994

[Verse 1]
I've awakened in a strange room, I've become a 43 year-old-black woman
And all the memories that comprised what I thought was my identity are gone
And I'm thinking 'bout a child I never bore, I feel him suckling at these breasts I never had
And I'm singing him a song I've never sung before
[Chorus]
This must be the place where you learn what you would not learn on earth This must be the place where you learn what you would not lеarn on earth
[Verse 2]
I'm standing in a coliseum wherе 500 million angels are laughing at me
And on a screen as big as the sky, the details of my life unfold
I swear, I'd gladly have the skin ripped off my back
Than to spend another minute in the presence of this life I have sadly thrown away
[Chorus]
This must be the place where you learn what you would not learn on earth This must be the place where you learn what you would not learn on earth
This must be the place where you learn what you would not learn on earth This must be the place where you learn what you would not learn on earth
[Bridge]
11 months in the bath of dirty spirits
If you wanna feel all grown up, well I tell you brother you're in luck
11 months in the bath of dirty spirits
We're gonna have to clean the slate, you can never come a bit too late
11 months in the bath of dirty spirits
We're gonna take away the rust, why don't you come along with us
Ooh, can you hear the thunder
Up and down and back and forth
Ooh, don't it hurt to remember
Left and right and to and fro'
Ooh, hear the trumpets blowin'
Jump and stand and kneel and pray
[Outro]
11 months in the bath of dirty spirits
If you wanna feel all grown up, well I tell you brother you're in luck
