The Man Who Sold the World - Live at the National Exhibition Center Birmingham 13th December 1995 by David Bowie Lyrics
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I was not there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a 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
Made my way back home
I searched for form and land
Years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely star
Of all the millions here
We must have died alonе
A long, long time ago
Who knows, not me
We nеver lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world, yeah
(extended live instrumentals/guitar solo)
Who knows, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Oh no; not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold ...
The world
[spoken: Thank you
Thanks very much that was it, written in 1968 ...]
