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

Commencing countdown, engines on

Check ignition and may God's love be with you

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 me 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 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
