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 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
