The Man Who Sold The World
Lulu Lyrics

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
We met randomly, and discussed events from the past.

Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Even though I didn't actually know him, he claimed that we were friends.

Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
It was unexpected, and I looked into his eyes as he spoke.

I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
I believed you had passed away many years ago, and had no one there with you.

Oh no, not me
I am not like that, I did not let myself go down that path.

I never lost control
I stayed in charge of my life, and did not let circumstances take over.

You're face to face
You are here in front of me, and we are in the same space.

With The Man Who Sold The World
You are now interacting with the person who caused widespread change and controversy.

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I joked with him and greeted him, then left to return to my life.

I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
Over a long period of time, I sought out structure and place to belong.

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
I looked out with a confused expression upon the crowded masses.

We must have died alone, a long long time ago
All of us have likely been alone in our thoughts for ages.

Who knows? Not me
I am not sure and cannot say.

We never lost control
None of us let life overpower us, we still have authority over our choices.

With the Man who Sold the World
Together, we are facing the man who changed history and left an indelible mark.
