Lyrics to Space Oddity

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, engines on

Check ignition and may gods love be with you



Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

Four, three, two, one, liftoff



This is ground control to major tom

Youve really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare



This is major tom to ground control

Im stepping through the door

And Im 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 theres nothing I can do



Though Im past one hundred thousand miles

Im feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell me wife I love her very much she knows



Ground control to major tom

Your circuits dead, theres 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 theres nothing I can do.
