Mojo Pin - Gary Lucas, Gods & Monsters, Michael Schoen

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 wanna weep for you, don’t wanna know

I’m blind and tortured, the white horses flow

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

And I’m there in your arms

Don’t wanna weep for you, I don’t wanna 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 wanna weep for you, don’t wanna 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
