Lyrics

Oh-oh, oh
Do you remember the guy that's been
In such an early song?
I've heard a rumor 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 shrinking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
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 that Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all time low
So high again
(Low, low, low, low, low)
So high again
(Low, low, low, low, low)
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green men are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuffed with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light, but no
Smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, whoa-oh-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know that Major Tom's a junkie
Ashes to ashes
We know that Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all time low
All time low
So high and so low
My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother 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
