David Bowie – Ashes To Ashes: Lyrics and Music Video
Ashes To Ashes Lyrics
Do you remember a guy that’s been
In such an early song?
I 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
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’ve never done good things
I’ve never done bad things
I’ve never done anything out of the blue
Want an axe to break the ice
Want to 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 better not mess with major tom
My mama said to get things done
You better not mess with major tom
My mama said to get things done
You better not mess with major tom
My mama said to get things done
You better not mess with major tom
My mama said to get things done
You better not mess with major tom

Fashion
There’s a brand new dance but i don’t know its name That people from bad homes do again and again It’s big and it’s bland full of tension and fear They do it over there but we don’t do it here…
