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 a man who sold the world

I left 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

And 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 a man who sold the world

Who knows?

Not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With a man who sold the world
