Ashes to Ashes (cover) - triple j for Like A Version lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you remember a guy that's been in
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"

[Pre-Chorus]
The shrieking of nothing is killing me
Just pictures of lap 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-owing-owing-owing-owing

[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

[Interlude]
Ah, ah
Oooo, yeah
[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 bad things
I never done anything out of the blue, whoa whoa
Want an axe to break the ice
I wanna 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 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, yeah
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with
Ooo
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, yeah
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with
Ah, ah
Ooo
