Soul Coughing, 1992-2000, was a New York-based band founded by vocalist and guitarist Mike Doughty(who billed himself at the time as 'M. Doughty'), a folk singer (he attended Eugene Lang College with Ani DiFranco, where they studied with Sekou Sundiataand played around the school together), slam poet, sometime music writer, and doorman at the old Houston Street location of The Knitting Factory, then a nexus for such avant-garde artists as John Zorn . Doughty put the band together from instrumentalists he met as they came through the club; he met sampler player Mark De Gli Antoni(recently graduated with a composition degree from Mannes College of Music) when they both participated in a performance of Zorn's "game piece" Cobra. This same ensemble also featured Jeff Buckley. Doughty brought a stack of CDs over to De Gli Antoni's house one afternoon and had him sample iconic riffs from Raymond Scott, Carl Stalling, Howlin' Wolf, and The Andrews Sisters, among others.

Maybe I’ll Come Down Lyrics
Soul Coughing
Dumb bah did du dumb
I need time to scrounge the rent,
Need time to contemplate the accident
I got to drag my ass to now,
How did I come to stop here?
And oh I knew the gas was gone
But I had to rev the motor
Pull back the hand you might get it cut off in the motor
Maybe Ill come down
Shes on laureates turf,
Shes on laureates side
Shes in a better state,
She feels a better fire
And oh I dreamed a great parade,
Shooting all the guns in brooklyn
The man who had a spare held out two
And then you and then you took one
Freeze or burn, all else is only icing
