Intro
Vs.
Ch
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 count down 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
Ch
Four three two one earth below us
drifting, falling
Floating weightless calling, calling home.
Second stage is cut, were 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 down control, there is a problem
Go to rockets full, not responding
Hello major tom, are you receiving? Turn your thrusters on
Were standing by, theres no reply.
Ch
Four three two one earth below us drifting, falling
Floating weightless calling, calling home.
Interlude
Across the stratosphere, a final message
Give my wife my love and nothing more
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning
They dont realize, hes alive
No one understands, but major tom sees.
Now the life commands, this is my home, Im coming home
Ch
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.
