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
