John Mellencamp The Man Who Sold The World Lyrics

The Man Who Sold The World Lyrics

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



Who knows? not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the Man who Sold the World

(repeat)
