The Man Who Sold The World Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Written by David Bowie 

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

We never lost control
