The Man Who Built The Moon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She was there
Diamonds in her hair
Singing out a dead man’s song
Here am I
With the mighty and the high
Feeling like I don’t belong
Yeah it’s you and your book of who’s who
Acting like you just don’t care
We would lie low
Got nowhere to go
Well any road will get us there
We never should have left town in the first place
Now we gotta walk like they talk in the rat race
You keep your eyes on the prize if you want it all
You and I
Spider and a fly
Eating where the shadows fall
Make room for the man who built the moon
He arrived on a maggot horse
Made no sound from the day you left town
No one said a word of course
I believe he was wearing on his sleeve
Her heart made of blackened stone
Said my love
I think I’ve had enough
I’m gonna find my way back home
We never should have left town in the first place
Now we gotta walk like they talk in the rat race
Keep your eyes on the prize ‘cause you want it all
You and I
Spider and a fly
Eating where the shadows fall
We never should have left town in the first place
Now we gotta walk like they talk in the rat race
Keep your eyes on the prize if you want it all
You and I
Spider and a fly
Eating where the shadows fall
You and I
Spider and a fly
Eating where the shadows fall
