Ashes To Ashes Lyrics - Singles - Bic Runga

(David Bowie's cover) 

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 

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 quit but this planet it's glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing, 

glowing, glowing, glowing... 

Ashes to ashes, fun 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, woh oh oh... 

I want an axe to break the ice 

I wanna come down right now 

Ashes to ashes, fun 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'd better not mess with Major Tom 

My mama said to get things done 

You'd better not mess with Major Tom 

My mama said to get things done 

You'd better not mess with Major Tom 

My mama said to get things done
