Picture a bright blue ball Just spinning, spinning free Dizzy with eternity Paint it with a skin of sky Brush in some clouds and sea Call it home for you and me A peaceful place or so it looks from space A closer look reveals the human race Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face But afraid, we may lay our home to wasteThere's a fear down here we can't forget Hasn't got a name just yet Always awake, always around Singing ashes to ashes all fall down Ashes to ashes all fall downNow watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime falls And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls By and by again, the morning sun will rise But the darkness never goes from some men's eyesIt strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets Staking turf, dividing up meat Nightmare spook, piece of heat It's you and me, you and meClick, flashblade in ghetto night Rudie's looking for a fight Rat cat alley roll them bones Need that cash to feed that jones And the politician's throwing stones Singing ashes to ashes all fall down Ashes to ashes all fall downCommissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price Money green or proletarian gray Selling guns instead of food todaySo the kids they dance, and shake their bones And the politician's throwing stones Singing ashes to ashes all fall down Ashes to ashes all fall downHeartless powers try to tell us what to think If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink, yeah History's page, it is thusly carved in stone The future's here, we are it, we are on our own On our own. On our own. On our own.If the game is lost then we're all the same No one left to place or take the blame We will leave this place an empty stone Or that shinning ball of blue we can call our homeSo the kids they dance, they shake their bones And the politicians, throwing stones Singing ashes to ashes all fall down Ashes to ashes, all fall downShipping powders back and forth Singing "black goes south and white comes north" And the whole world full of petty wars Singing "I got mine and you got yours" And the current fashions set the pace Lose your step, fall out of grace And the radical he rant and rage Singing "someone got to turn the page" And the rich man in his summer home, Singing "Just leave well enough alone" But his pants are down, his cover's blownAnd the politicians throwing stones So the kids they dance they shake their bones Cause its all too clear we're on our own Sing ashes to ashes, all fall down Ashes to ashes, all fall downPicture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free It's dizzying, the possibilitiesAshes to Ashes, all fall down
