VERSE:

  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

BRIDGE:

  The shrieking of nothing is killing me
      
  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

CHORUS:
              
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
                
We know Major Tom's a junky
                     
Strung out in heaven's high
                            
Hitting an all time low

                  

VERSE:
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

BRIDGE:
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
I want an axe to brake the ice
I want to come down right now

CHORUS

   

||:                
      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   :|| (repeat to fade)
