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



[spoken]

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.
