Letra

The Guy Who Wasn't Jesus

[Verse]
Knew this guy said he was divine
Walked around claimed he was on high
But I saw through his holy disguise
On Grey Mare Lane where truth lies
[Verse 2]
Name was Ben lived like a ghost
Told his tales over burnt toast
Preaching loud in the alleyways
Heaven's light in the everyday haze
[Chorus]
You ain't no messiah Ben
Just a man on Grey Mare Lane
Lost in your twisted zen
Trying to catch that elusive train
[Verse 3]
Holy robes were ragged threads
Halo's light dimmed in his head
Tried to rise but always fell down
Looking for faith in a faithless town
[Chorus]
You ain't no messiah Ben
Just a man on Grey Mare Lane
Lost in your twisted zen
Trying to catch that elusive train
[Bridge]
Dreams of grandeur stained and frayed
Holy words in the alley sprayed
Searching hard for a savior's fame
But we all knew Grey Mare Lane
