    A fantasy that seems to involve a messianic musician, a deciduous audience, and someone who lied unto eternity.

    Story Behind the Song
    A fantasy that original had Dimitro as a "midget malefactor", but the references to "cross old trees" and other things prompted the change to making it in a "garden, ripe for play". I'm not sure what motivates these types of works, they flow out on their own, but this was worked extensively over several weeks and many takes, and still might be redone yet.

    Lyrics
    Dimitro

    sun rose high above the clouds
    (it was a very special day)
    stage was set, the fruit was full
    all the garden ripe for play

    thumb broke through the waiting dust
    and touched the sky with regal rust
    dimitro prometheus
    stretched out long and squeaked with lust

    the crowd then gathered, roared, and cursed
    waiting with a wooden thirst
    they all stood and none took air
    rooted in the dirt

    dimitro opened his eyes
    "forsooth", he murmured, touching skies,
    "i do see a golden door
    come with me, a new see-shore"

    stepping forth, his mind was freed
    his instrument of song dripped seed
    upon the waiting frothing crowd
    set deeply in the soil

    from his hand roared muddy seas
    from his pores poured harmonies
    dancers grew on fingertips
    heads and shoulders, fingers, hips,
    swordfish pen met pulsing lips

    ‘bove the field a bow then rose
    wisdom only and no brain
    and the wave began to grow
    yellow purple green white rain
    smoothly whipping clouds to cream
    whetting all the pain
    dimitro in ecstasy
    drowned in warm cacophony
    grew into a cross old tree
    lied into eternity
