The Very Moon Lyrics - Singles - The Disco Biscuits

Manilla was a crude machine who'd taken his fair share 

He gobbled up the world he owned as petals paved his stairs 

Manilla thanked the very moon for money and his life 

He trifled nothing miniscule including one, his wife 

Leora, his arranged wife, did not need his greed 

She asked the stars, the very moon, to one day cross the sea 

Manilla gazed an empty stare nothing there could grow 

She cherished dreams of flying high and leaving him below 

Leora stands on her head 

Doin' the two step on her hands 

As her eyes move round the room 

To catch somone watching 

Leora stands on her head 

Doin' the two step on her hands 

Underneath the very moon 

That each one was watching 

Manilla wanted worldly things and everything he'd have 

He built castles, moats, battleships and troops in iron clad 

Manilla heard Mulberry's name under the very moon 

His troops went running the next day to find the air balloon 

Leora, his arranged wife, cooked the men a feast 

And cleaned herself up solemnly before she faced the beast 

That night she asked the very moon was this her fate to be 

At lunch she met the flying man whose airships crossed the sea 

Leora stands on her head 

Doin' the two step on her hands 

As her eyes move round the room 

To catch somone watching 

Leora stands on her head 

Doin' the two step on her hands 

Underneath the very moon 

That each one was watching
