Song lyrics

Send "The Man Who Sold The World" ringtones to your cell

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 
We 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 
We walked a million hills 
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 

Who knows? 
Not me 
We never lost control 
You're face to face 
With the Man who Sold the World
