Ground Control to Major Nine'Eight'SevenTom

This is Ground Control to Major Tom'

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know who shot you where

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 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 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 circuits 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 I am floating round my tin can'

Far above the Moon'

Pl Earth is blue

And there's nothing I can do."
