The Man Who Sold the World Live at the Phoenix Festival Long Marston 20th July 1997 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 alone
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, 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
