Ashes To Ashes Lyrics

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song?
I heard a rumor from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the action man
Oh happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all, I've needed love
Sordid details following

The shrieking of nothing is killing me
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and
I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
And I'd like to quick buck, the planet is
Glow low low low low

Ashes to ashes, fun 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 were following me
Oh no, not again

I'm stuck with a valuable friend
Oh happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no
Smoking pistol

I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I've never done anything out of the blue
I want an axe to break the ice
I wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, fun 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 better not mess with Major Tom"
