Space Oddity

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Lock your Soyuz hatch
And put your helmet on

(10) Ground Control (9) to Major Tom (8)
(7, 6) Commencing (5) countdown, engines on (4, 3, 2)
Detach from station (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
But it's time to guide the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I've left for ever more
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 left to do

Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And before too long, I know it's time to go
Our commander comes down back to Earth and rolls

Ground Control to Major Tom
The time is near, there's not too long
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating in my tin can
Last glimpse of the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing left to do
