Intro

Ground control to major Tom

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)

(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)

(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may God's (Blastoff) love

be with you

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

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 circuits dead, there's

something wrong

Can you hear me, major Tom?

Can you...

Here am I sitting in my tin can far above the Moon

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
