	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
