The Man Who Sold the World (Live & Loud) Lyrics

[Intro]
This is the David Bowie's song

[Verse 1]
We passed upon the stairs
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

[Chorus]
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

[Verse 2]
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for foreign land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
Wе walked a million hills
I must have died alonе
A long, long time ago
[Chorus]
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

[Chorus]
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

[Guitar Solo]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
