JEFF BUCKLEY - Mojo Pin (live at Palais Theatre) lyrics

rate me

(J. Buckley/G. Lucas)

In the intro of this track Jeff sings two verses of Chocolate, a song that he has never recorded in studio, but that he often performed as intro to Mojo Pin or in medley with Kangaroo.

[these are some verses of Chocolate]

You got me shaking like a lovers bed on a hardwood floor

In the New York summertime, melting on a tongue of gold

[and this is Mojo Pin]

I'm lying in my bed

The blanket is warm

This body will never be safe from harm

I still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal

Touch my skin to keep me whole

Well 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

The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow

Black beauty I love you so

Yeah precious, precious silver and gold and pearls

in oyster's flesh

Drop down we two to serve and pray to love

Yes born again from the rhythm, screaming down from heaven

Ageless, ageless and I'm there in your...

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...

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 waited my life to see

It's you...

If you hurt me I'll kill you...
