Song lyrics
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

This is probably one of my favorite songs. It would be better if they didnt copy it but i still love Nirvana. All hail the mighty Grunge Rocker Kurt Cobain!!

I've never heard david bowie's version but Nirvana kicks ass, and I'm sure Kurt Cobain's version is a hella lot better !!!
