Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I was not there
He said I was his friend
[Verse 2]
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
[Verse 3]
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
[Verse 4]
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
[Verse 5]
I gazed a gazeless stare
And all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long long time ago
[Verse 6]
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
[Verse 7]
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
