David Bowie. Ashes to Ashes

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...

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, woh-o-oh

Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

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

1980
