[Verse 1]
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 ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing

[Chorus]
Ashes  to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junky
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

[Verse 2]
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, whoa whoa
I want an axe to break the ice
I wanna come down right now
[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
