David Bowie — The Man Who Sold The World lyrics

The page contains the lyrics of the song "The Man Who Sold The World" by David Bowie.

Lyrics

We passed upon the stairs,
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 alone,
A long long time ago.

Who knows, not me,
I never lost control,
You're face, to face,
With the man who sold the world.
