lyrics

lyrics:

We passed along the stairs, we spoke of was and when
All though I wasn't there, he said I was a 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 and made my way back home
I passed through form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare at 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
Who know, not me, we never lost control
You're face to face with the man who sold the world
