Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom (Ten, nine, eight, seven ) Commencing count down engines on (Six, five, four, three ) Check ignition, and may god's love be with you (Two, one, lift off )
This is ground control to Major Tom You've really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear Now its 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
(Instrumental break)
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
Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the moon Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
