The Man Who Built the Moon Songtext
von Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

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 knackered horse
Made no sound from the day he left town
No one said a word of course


I believe he was wearing on his sleeve
A 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 if 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
