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 a surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you died alone A long long time ago
Oh no, not me We 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 (Alt: I searched for foreign land) For years and years I roamed I gazed a gazely stare At all the millions here (Alt 1: We walked a million years)(Alt 2: With multimillionaires)(Alt 3: We walked a million hills) I must have died alone (Alt: I must have died along) A long, long time ago
[x2] Who knows? Not me We never lost control You're face to face With the Man who Sold the World
