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 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
