Apache Jesus was a song I originally made up in New Mexico after my brother and I visited an Apache church on the reservation in Bend, New Mexico where our friend Frank is the local synesthetic expert.
I covered "3, 6, 9" rap by Water Dog aka oh be Joyful, a fellow elvan sound tech who speaks to and from the trees.
lyrics
I wanna save my soul with this traveling song
you can save your soul with it
down in the church of (me and my brother sat)
down in the church of the Apache Jesuses
"3,6,9, we all drank wine
I think I found a portal on a streetcar line
the line broke
the monkey got choked and we all went to heaven in a little rowboat
till 3,6,5 I got lost in a beehive
they call me killer till I made up my mind
to stop time, all this time"-Water Dog
