Space Oddity

Lyrics

Ground Control to Major Tom
 
 Ground Control to Major Tom
 Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
 Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)
 Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three)
 Check ignition and may God's love be with you (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 the most peculiar way
 And the stars look very different today
 For here am I sitting in my 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 hear And I'm floating around my tin can
 Far above the Moon
 ♪
 Planet Earth is blue
 And there's nothing I can do.
