Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you remember a 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
[Verse 2]
They got a message for the action man
I'm happy
Hope you're happy, too
I've loved all I've needed, love
Sordid details following
[Verse 3]
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, glowing, glowing, glowing
[Verse 4]
Ashes to ashes
Funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in Heaven's high
Hitting an all time low
[Verse 5]
Time and again, I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh, no
Not again
[Verse 6]
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy
Hope you're happy, too
One flash of light
But no smoking crystal
[Verse 7]
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
Want an axe to break the ice
I wanna come down right now
[Verse 8]
Ashes to ashes
Funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in Heaven's high
Hitting an all time low
[Verse 9]
My mama said
To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
[Verse 10]
My mama said
To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
[Verse 11]
My mama said
To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
[Verse 12]
My mama said
To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
