Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Bowie’s in space
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Bowie’s in spa-he-hase
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Whatcha doin’ out there, man?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
That’s pretty freaky, Bowie
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
What’s a rock musician doing out in space, man?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Isn’t it cold, quite cold out there, Bowie?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Do you need my jumper, Bowie?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Does the space cold do funny things to your nipples, making them all pointy? Bowie.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9 Em7
Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antenna transmitting data back to Earth?
Cadd9 D Cadd9
Data back to Earth d-d-do, d-d-do, do do
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
I bet you do, you freaky old bastard, you.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Is it lonely out there in space, man, or is there life on Mars?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Wouldn’t that be weird, ‘cause you wrote that song, “Is there Life on Mars”?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
You could write a follow-up tune and call it, “And There Is”.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Mmmmm, and there is. Yes, there is.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
There's heaps of it, and it's all freaking out at my new look.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Bowie, do you have one really funky sequined space suit, Bowie?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Or do you have several ch-ch-ch-ch-changes? Space changes

Em7 Cadd9 D
Do they smoke grass up there, man?
Cadd9 Em7
Or do they smoke Astro-Turf?
