its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Skinny was born in a bathtub
And he grew so incredibly thin
Even the end of an eye dropper
Sucked him in
Skinny never knew any questions
Skinny never looked at lights
Skinny sold something
Every single night
Skinny sold a soldier toy to me
Skinny sold a wife
Skinny sold a suction cup
And a knife
Skinny found a hello dolly
Record in the hall
He sold it to a truck driver
In the fall
(Hello Dolly)
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming, Constantinople
Here I come
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming, Constantinople
Here I come
All the leaves are off of the oak and
All the sheep have followed the spoken
Word I'm coming, Constantinople
Here I come
As I stand out in the open
All my friends are with you I hope and
Pray I'm coming, constantinople
Here I come
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming Constantinople
Here I come
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming Constantinople
Here I come
Well, here I come, Constantinople
I'm coming, Constantinople
I'm coming with my head held high
Here I come, Constantinople
I'm coming
I can't wait to see you
I'm coming with my head held high
I'm not coming on my knees
I'm coming, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming Constantinople
Here I come
And he grew so incredibly thin
Even the end of an eye dropper
Sucked him in
Skinny never knew any questions
Skinny never looked at lights
Skinny sold something
Every single night
Skinny sold a soldier toy to me
Skinny sold a wife
Skinny sold a suction cup
And a knife
Skinny found a hello dolly
Record in the hall
He sold it to a truck driver
In the fall
(Hello Dolly)
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming, Constantinople
Here I come
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming, Constantinople
Here I come
All the leaves are off of the oak and
All the sheep have followed the spoken
Word I'm coming, Constantinople
Here I come
As I stand out in the open
All my friends are with you I hope and
Pray I'm coming, constantinople
Here I come
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming Constantinople
Here I come
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming Constantinople
Here I come
Well, here I come, Constantinople
I'm coming, Constantinople
I'm coming with my head held high
Here I come, Constantinople
I'm coming
I can't wait to see you
I'm coming with my head held high
I'm not coming on my knees
I'm coming, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming Constantinople
Here I come

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Constantinople is about death and dying....=/ why would the residents sing about a town in turkey or some shit.
