Forgotten Gods

JIM - vocals, sampled-[synthesizers & wood flute]
TIM- drum programing & sampled percussion
MUSIC-TIM & JIM WORDS-MARY BODINE

Uncertain beings from cave to church, In adolescent packs we pounded out our growing pains to gods, tea leaves, bones, stones, and any soft bodied mammal....Responsibility spread lightly through the universe, rocks of healing, sky of power....What dramas with each day! A thunderbolt was God's displeasure & soil demanded dance and blood....Circles of rhythm made deafening prayers and the reeds moaned like trapped children and the hilltops glowed with hot inspiration....Today we power driven little gods create our own reality....sacraments of logic and self realization....our creed to fulfill all needs....Banks built with templed columns, elevators rise like prayers to dens of self absorption, holy as a sacrifice....Oh doc! Please make us more outstanding, armor us in self esteem, please?....Let us be in our own movies....Happiness looms like an ax over the jungle chopping up our questions, cleaning away uneasiness....The ape lives on in laboratories, clean, starring at maps, stars on black....The universe is a wondrous backdrop of white coats swinging through important doors slapping their papers as one....The ape chews her improbable thumb....Something drums, something taps from the deepest heart of the celled ape, an insistent verb from another world, a ripples of another harmony, another combining.
