Hope you're happy, too. I've loved. All I've needed: love. Sordid details following.“ 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 Ashes to ashes, funk 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 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 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.“
