Mojo Pin (Tongue Version) (Live at King Cat Theater, Seattle, WA - May 1995)

Uh-uh, ah-ah, ah, uh-uh

Oh-oh, ah-ah, ah-ah

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Oh-oh, uh-uh

I'm lying in my bed

The blanket is warm

This body will never be safe from harm

Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal

Touch my skin to keep me whole

Oh, if only you'd come back to me

If you laid at my side

Wouldn't need no mojo pin

To keep me satisfied

Don't want to weep for you

Don't want to know

I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow

The memories fire

The rhythms fall slow

Black beauty, I love you so

Oh, precious, precious silver and gold

And pearls in oyster's flesh

Drop down we two to serve and pray to love

Born again from the rhythm

Screaming down from heaven

Ageless, ageless, I'm there in your arms

Don't want to weep for you

I don't want to know

I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow

The memories fire

The rhythms fall slow

Black beauty, I love you so

So, so, so

So

Oh, the welts of your scorn, my love, give me more

Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more

Well it's you I've waited my life to see

It's you I've searched so hard for

Don't want to weep for you

Don't want to know

I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow

The memories fire

The rhythms fall slow

Black beauty, I love you so, so

Black, black, black beauty
