this drum hit
at a steady rhythm makes
the walls shake and
the air vibrate
releasing a call
releasing a call
releasing a call
that waits for a response…

bass, tone, tone, bass, slap
bass, tone, tone, bass, slap
i’ve got the answer
it’s in these red palms
finding the rhythm
on this taut goat skin
bass, tone, tone, bass, slap
bass, tone, tone, bass, slap
i’ve got the answer
it’s in the night air
keeping the downbeat
in this room upstairs
bass, tone, tone, bass, slap
bass, tone, tone, bass, slap
i’ve got the answer
it can’t be spoken
but if you listen
i think you’ll get it
tone, tone, tone slap, slap bass, bass
