Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
(Ten, nine, eight) Ground control to Major Tom
(Seven, six)
(Five) Commencing countdown, engines on

(Four, three)
(Two, one) Check ignition
And may God's love be with you (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 the 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 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 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do...
