Bic Runga - Ashes To Ashes lyrics

rate me

(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
