    Story Behind the Song
    this was originally a heavy mosh song played to alienate the crowd at the end of shows, like drug runer off of the last record. when we were doing basic tracks, and drinking lots of rum, brian and anthony decided to try it as a fake jazz song with guitar and brushes. a few weeks later, when doing overdubs, anthony and wayne decided to spice it up with some really bad keyboard sounds, which work perfectly for the song. add a little guitar, some horn players to replace some of the key's, and some great lyrics about, uh, you know, the song grew into something we could never, ever hope to replicate live. lyrics "inspired" by a poem by Li-Young Lee entitled "persimmons". this song is about sex and fruit.

    Lyrics
    PERSIMMON

    She undresses, her belly is white
    with crickets we lay face up and down
    Shivering naked, remember to tell her shes beautiful as the moon
    This persimmon
    peeling the skin from soft and ripened flesh

    Sweet persimmon
    Ripe love

    Chinese apple, heavy as sadness
    swollen and sweet as love
    Fathers blindness, remembers persimmons
    the feel of the scroll and brush
    This precision, tender and golden
    falls upon swollen tongues

    Sweet persimmon
    Ripe love
    Sweet persimmon
    Sweet precision
    Sweet persimmon ripe love
