Ashes to Ashes

[Verse 1]

Do you remember a guy that's been in such an early song

I've heard a rumour from Ground Control

Oh no, (don't say it's true)

They got a message from the Action Man

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too

I've loved all I've needed to love

Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing

Just pictures of Jap girls in sin city and

I ain't got no money and ain't got no hair

But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

[Chorus]

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

We know Major Tom's a junkie

Strung out in heaven's high

Hitting an all-time low

[Verse 2]

Time and again I tell myself

I'll stay clean tonight

But the little green wheels are following me

Oh no, not again

I'm stuck with a valuable friend

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"

One flash of light, but no smoking pistol

I never done good things

I never done bad things

I never did anything out of the blue

Want an axe to break the ice

Wanna come down right now

[Chorus]

Ashes to ashes, fun to funky

We know Major Tom's a junkie

Strung out in heaven's high

Hitting an all-time low

[Outro]

My mother said

To get things done

You'd better not mess

With Major Tom
