Ashes to Ashes Lyrics

"Ashes To Ashes"

David Bowie

♪ ♪ ♪

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, 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

But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is 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,

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 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"

You'd better not mess with Major Tom"
