Lagu ini menceritakan kisah pertemuan seorang narator dengan pria misterius yang mengaku sebagai temannya, meskipun narator yakin dia telah meninggal lama sebelumnya. Percakapan mereka yang membingungkan dan lirik yang surealis mengeksplorasi tema identitas, kematian, dan keterasingan. Dengan gitar yang bergema dan vokal Bowie yang menghantui, lagu ini menciptakan suasana yang tak terlupakan, membangkitkan perasaan misteri dan introspeksi.
The Man Who Sold The World Lyrics
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 some 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 searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely 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
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some 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 searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely 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
