The Man Who Sold The World lyrics - Nirvana

(originally 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 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 gazeless 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

Who knows?

Not me

I never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world

Who knows?

Not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world
