Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
Oh no! Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus:]
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world





The Man Who Sold the World

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 a 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 gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I must have died along
A long, long time ago

Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world







The Man Who Sold the World

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 a 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 gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I must have died along
A long, long time ago

[2x:]
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
