Ground control to major Tom Ground control to major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on (lock your Soyuz hatch) (Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight) (Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four) (Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may gods (Blastoff) love be with you (detach from station)
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 ( it's time to guide the capsule if you dare)
This is major Tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door (I've left forever more) And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today Here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do (nothing left to do)
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still (Though I've flew one hundred thousand miles--) And I think my spaceship knows which way to go (and before too long I know it's time to go) Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows ( our commander comes down back to earth and knows) Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead, there's something wrong (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 sitting in my tin can far above the Moon ( here am I floating in my tin can, a last glimpse of the world) Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do (there's nothing to do)
