I wonder if the line 'Oh no, not again' (which no one's seemed to talk about) is possibly a nod to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or just coincidence?
I'd like to think Bowie was referencing that great scene over Magrathea...
@gren - I bet you you're right! "Curiously enough the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was, 'Oh, no not again.' Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we should know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now."

@gren Maybe little green men fly around in little green wheels? Lots of wheel shaped alien craft out there, so imagine a junkie astronaut who is used to seeing UFOs saying Oh no, not again. It's bad enough being high in space, but being high and in danger is probably not a good thing.
