Heartbreak Kid, The movie - Ashes To Ashes lyrics

rate me

Song by David Bowie<br /><br>

Do you remember a guy that's been<br>

In such an early song<br>

I've heard a rumour from Ground Control<br>

Oh no, don't say it's true<br>

<br>

They got a message<br>

from the Action Man<br>

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too<br>

I've loved<br>

all I've needed to love<br>

Sordid details following"<br>

<br>

The shrieking of nothing is killing <br>

Just pictures of Jap girls <br>

in synthesis and I<br>

Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair<br>

But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky<br>

We know Major Tom's 4<br>

a junkie<br>

Strung out in heaven's high<br>

Hitting an all-time low<br>

<br>

Time and again I tell myself<br>

I'll stay clean tonight<br>

But the little green wheels are following me<br>

Oh no, not again<br>

I'm stuck with a valuable friend<br>

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"<br>

One flash of light <br>

but no smoking pistol<br>

<br>

I never done good things<br>

I never done bad things<br>

I never did anything out of the blue, <br>

Want an axe to break the ice<br>

Wanna come down right now<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

<br>

My mother said<br>

to get things done<br>

You'd better not mess <br>

with Major Tom<br>

<br>
