Ashes To Ashes

Lyrics

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 to 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 ashes, 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 never done good things I never done bad things  
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh  
Want an axe to break the ice  
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 mother said to get things done  
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
