“Ashes to Ashes” is a follow up to “Space Oddity”, reinterpreting its iconic stranded spaceman Major Tom as a drug addict lost in the throes of substance abuse.
An art rock, art pop and new wave song led by a flanged piano riff, the lyrics act as a sequel to Bowie's 1969 hit "Space Oddity": the astronaut Major Tom has succumbed to drug addiction and floats isolated in space. Bowie partially based the lyrics on his own experiences with drug addiction throughout the 1970s.

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.
