Major Tom (Coming Home)

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
 All systems are go, "Are you sure?"
 Control is not convinced, but the computer
 Has the evidence, no need to abort
 The countdown starts
 Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
 Nothing left to chance, all is working
 Trying to relax up in the capsule
 "Send me up a drink," jokes Major Tom
 The count goes on
 Four, three, two, one
 Earth below us, drifting, falling
 Floating weightless, calling, calling home
 ♪
 Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit
 Stabilizers up, running perfect
 Starting to collect requested data
 "What will it affect when all is done?"
 Thinks Major Tom
 Back at Ground Control, there is a problem
 "Go to rockets full," not responding
 "Hello, Major Tom, are you receiving?
 Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by"
 There's no reply
 Four, three, two, one
 Earth below us, drifting, falling
 Floating weightless, calling, calling home
 ♪
 Across the stratosphere, a final message
 "Give my wife my love," then nothing more
 Far beneath the ship the world is mourning
 They don't realize he's alive
 No one understands, but Major Tom sees
 "Now the light commands, this is my home
 I'm coming home"
 Earth below us, drifting, falling
 Floating weightless, coming home
 Earth below us, drifting, falling
 Floating weightless, coming home
 Earth below us, drifting, falling
 Floating weightless, coming, coming home
