Ashes To Ashes

A Perfect Circle · Other Songs - A Perfect Circle

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"



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

And I'm hoping to quit but the planet it's glowing



Ashes to ashes, fun to funky

We know Major Tom's 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've never done good things

I've never done bad things

I've never done anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh

I want an axe to break the ice

I wanna come down right now



Ashes to ashes, fun to funky

We know Major Tom's a junkie

Strung out in heaven's high

Hitting an all-time low



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
