The Man Who Sold The World lyrics

We passed upon the stair,

we spoke of was and when.

Although I wasn't there,

he said I was his friend.

Which came as some surprise

I spoke into his eyes

I thought you died alone,

a long, long time ago.

Oh no, not me,

I never lost control.

You're face to face

with the man who sold the world.

I laughed and shook his hand

and made my way back home.

I searched for form and land,

for years and years I roamed.

I gazed a gazely stare

at all the millions here.

We must have died alone,

a long, long time ago.

Oh no, not me,

I never lost control.

You're face to face

with the man who sold the world.

Oh no, not me,

I never lost control.

You're face to face

with the man who sold the world.

Who knows? Not me,

we never lost control.

You're face to face

with the man who sold the world.
