The Man Who Sold The World

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 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
