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

This is ground control

to Major Tom

You've really

made the grades

and the papers

want to now who's

shirt 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

the 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 hear

Am I floating

in my tin can

far above the moon

Planet Earth is blue

and there's

nothing I can do
