Space Oddity





originally written by David Bowie 

Ground control to Major Tom 

Ground control to Major Tom 

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on  

(ten, nine) 

Ground control to Major Tom  

(eight, seven, six) 

Commencing countdown  

(five) engines on  

(four, three, two) 

Check ignition  

(one) and may God's love be with you  

(lift off) 

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 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've pasted 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?...
