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 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 gazeless stare |
| at all the millions here |
| We must have died alone, |
| 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 |
