Ashes To Ashes Lyrics

				   do you remember a guy that's been
					       in such an early song
				i 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 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 and i ain't got no hair
	but i'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing aglow aglow

	ashes to ashes  funk to funky
	we know major tom's a junkie
	strung out on 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 bad things
				i never did anything out of the blue
					want an axe to break the ice
					 want to come down right now

	ashes to ashes  funk to funky
	we know major tom's a junkie
	strung out on heaven's high
	hitting an all time low

			my mama said to get things done
			you better not mess with major tom
			my mama said to get things done
			you better not mess with major tom
			my mama said to get things done
			you better not mess with major tom
