Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We passed upon the stair

We spoke of was and when

Although I wasn't there

He said I was his friend

[Verse 2]

Which came as some surprise

I spoke into his eyes

I thought you died alone

A long, long time ago

[Verse 3]

Oh no, not me

I 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 home

I searched for form and land

For years and years I roamed

[Verse 5]

I gazed a gazely stare

At 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]

Who knows? Not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world
