Space Oddity

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
And put your helmet on

(10) Ground Control (9) to Major Tom (8)
(7, 6) Commencing (5) countdown
Engines on (4, 3, 2) check ignition (1)
And may God's love (Liftoff) be with you

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know
Whose 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 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
