1. ASHES TO ASHES

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 to love
Sordid details following".

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 it's glowing.

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's 4
a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low.

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.

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue,
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now.

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's 4
a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low.

My mother said
to get things done
You'd better not mess
with Major Tom.


2. MOVE ON

Sometimes I feel
The need to move on
So I pack a bag
And move on
Move on.

Well I might take a train
Or sail at dawn
Might take a girl
When I move on
When I move on.

Somewhere, someone's calling me
When the chips are down
I'm just a travelling man
Maybe it's just a trick of the mind, but
Somewhere there's a morning sky
Bluer than her eyes
Somewhere there's an ocean
Innocent and wild.

Africa is sleepy people
Russia has its horsemen
Spent some nights in old Kyoto
Sleeping on the matted ground.

Cyprus is my island
When the going's rough
I would love to find you
Somewhere in a place like that.

Somewhere, someone's calling me
When the chips are down
I stumble like a blind man
Can't forget you
Can't forget you.

Feeling like a shadow
Drifting like a leaf
I stumble like a blind man
Can't forget you
Can't forget you.

Can't forget you
Can't forget you.
