A lot of Soul Coughing's songs don't mean anything at all, but here's what Mike Doughty had to say about it.

Mike Doughty--"Astounded that I wrote this. Don't know where the fuck it came from. Well, I there was this thirteen year old kid in Jamaica named Dervin--he played snare drum and sang, his father played upright bass, they'd wander the beach --and they did this old Jamaican standard called "When I Fall In Love", and it had this incredibly spooky vibe to it. I guess that was the seed."

@Alpha13 very cool
