Space Oddity

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 countdown, engines on (Six, five, four, three) Check ignition and may God's love be with you (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 peculair 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 100,000 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 around my tin can Far above the Moon Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do
