Ashes to Ashes

Do you remember a guy that's been

In such an early song?

I've heard a rumor 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, love

Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing, just

Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I

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

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

Ashes to ash and funk to funky

We know Major Tom's a junkie

Strung out in heaven's high

Hitting an all-time low

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've never done good things (I've never done good things)

I've never done bad things (I've never done bad things)

I never did anything out of the blue (I never did anything)

(Out of the blue) whoa, oh, oh (whoa, oh)

Want an axe to break the ice (I want an axe to break the ice)

Wanna come down right now (I wanna come down right now)

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

We know Major Tom's a junkie

Strung out in heaven's high

Hitting an all-time low

My mama said, to get things done

You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mama said, to get things done

You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mama said, to get things done

You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mama said, to get things done

You'd better not mess with Major Tom
