"Monkey God" by Tim Booth

Just came across this AMAZING live performance by Tim Booth (lead singer of the group James) of his song "Monkey God," from his 2005 solo release "Bone." Listen to how this already powerful song gets even more hypnotic and powerful at around the 3:30 mark...driving, forceful, transcendent...

I love his tranced, ecstatic dancing.

We co-create our own fate
Everything's connected
God in man, man's an ape
Everything's connected

We co-create our own fate
Everything's connected
Man from stars, man from ape

My behavior's chemical
Nurture, biological
Determined by the stars in space

Don't rely on suicide
Meet you on the other side
It's not even your life to take

See things from the stratosphere
We're so unimportant here
What's the point in asking why?

Struggle of the underdog
Too much love or not enough
We die to live and live to die

Meanwhile in the stratosphere
Houston, we've a problem here
Someone's cut a hole in the sky

Planet in a Petri dish
Interference, hit and miss
Soon there won't be rivers to cry

God's pitch shift, way out of time
Created an ape infected with the spark of divine

Mix X with the Y chromosome
One to destroy, the other tries to find a way home,
Home,
Home,
HOME

We co-create our own fate
Everything's connected
God in man, man from ape
Everything's connected
