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 junky
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
I want an axe to break the ice
I want to come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junky
Strung out on heaven's high
Hitting an all time low

My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
