Hmm, I think I just realized what this song was about and it's sorta chilling actually. This song seems to be talking about a person who believes in grieving for the dead and would even go as far as trying to find a "middle man" or a physic type person who "talks like doolittle" to the dead for them. "You can cry you can mope, but can you swing from a good rope" That line is what really got me, it seems to suggest that you can do whatever you want to grieve while you are on Earth and all, but in reality, are you willing to off yourself in order to join your loved one? This song might be talking in fact about that action.
