Intro

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 engine's on

Check ig-nition and may God's love be with you

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 con-trol, 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 passed 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...

Here am I floating round my tin can, far above the moon

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
