A lot of people think this song is about his ex Julia Grey (because of how "grey" is spelled). Well, I read that in South Africa, where Dave was born, they spell "gray" with an 'e', not an 'a'. I mean, if you look at the lyrics, it definitely speaks more about religion than about a g/f, IMO.
I think it's mostly about how a lot of people shove different religions down your throat, and force you to comply and accept what THEY are saying...instead of finding out for yourself. I think everything can be summed up in these lines:
"No one else will do it for you
Reach up and grab hold of the sunlight "
IMO that's what the whole song is BASICALLY saying...obviously there's a lot more detail to it ;)
^^^ From "Captain" I believe ;)

"And people say oh look at the way the girl dances her life away oh even more then that all the crazy, crazy things she does"
