[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]

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"

[Pre-Chorus]

The shrieking of nothing is killing

The shrieking of nothing is killing

Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis

Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis

And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair

I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair

But I'm hoping to kick, but the planet is glowing

But I'm hoping to kick, but the planet is glowing

[Chorus]

Ashes to ash and funk to funky

We know Major Tom's a junkie

Strung out in heaven's high

Hitting an all-time low

[Gibberish]

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I've never done good things

I've never done good things

I've never done bad things

I've never done bad things

I never did anything out of the blue, woah woah

I never did anything out of the blue, woah woah

Want an axe to break the ice

I want an axe to break the ice

Wanna come down right now

I want to come down right now

[Chorus]

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

We know Major Tom's a junkie

Strung out in heaven's high

Hitting an all-time low

[Outro]

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

You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mama said
