Ground Control to Major Tom,
Ground Control to Major Tom,
Take your protein pills and put your helmet
on.
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with
you.
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five,
Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff
This is Ground Control to Major Tom,
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts
you wear.
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you
dare.
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control,
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today.
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can.
Far above the world,
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
Though I'm past one hundred thousand
miles,
I'm feeling very still,
And I think my spaceship knows which way
to go.
Tell my wife I love her very much she
knows."
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something
wrong.
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you...
"Here am I floating round my tin can,
Far above the Moon,
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."
