Ashes To Ashes Lyrics

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 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

 

 [CHORUS]

 Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

 We know Major Tom's 4

 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, 

 Want an axe to break the ice

 Wanna come down right now

 

 [CHORUS]

 

 My mother said

 to get things done

 You'd better not mess 

 with Major Tom
