This song could be about the PlayStation 1 game, LSD Dream Emulator, where a Gray Man with a blank stare can sneak up on you. He disappears in a bright flash, but in the dark you cannot see him.

Written about the boredom that can sometimes prevail in an everyday predictable american life, the music and lyrics seem to mirror the sentiment. Despite the saucy sax parts, the song kind of floated down stream into a disposal. An alternative version exists with rapping instead of singing, but no one knows where it is. Let's thank The Ultra Kyu for another strange song. Let's also thank Yes for the "Owner of a Lonely Heart" riff.

Lyrics[]

Oh, it's not what you think

By the way The Greay Man winks

All you have to dance a jig

When you'd rather flip your wig

Wether Summer or it's fall

Or you're sealed up in a wall

Let the mystery unfold

Of the seven books of gold...

Please bring all your photographs

We'll cut the cake and have a laugh

But just outside the garden gate

I know The Grey Man stands and waits

For all my friends to leave again

So our royal party ends

He's always been right here with me

But is he real or make-believe?

Oh, it's not what you think

By the way The Grey Man winks

You see him standing by the wall

When he's really ten feet tall

I saw him in the woods

He is not bad, but is no good

He won't go into the light

But in the dark, he's outta sight!

We'll go out and we'll be great

To sit and chat by the tailgate

Barbeque the weiner dogs

Camper shell, potato logs

Head inside the game and then,

Root, root, root and home again

The Grey Man will be waiting there

Matching us with his blank stare
