Major Tom

Standing here alone

The ship is waiting all systems a go

Are you sure

Control is not convinced but the computer has the evidence

No need to abort

The countdown 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 4 3 2 1

Earth below us

Drifting falling

Floating weightless

Calling calling home

Second stage is cut

We're now in orbit stabilizers up

We're running perfect

Starting to collect requested data

What will it affect when all is done

Thinks Major

Tom Back at ground control

There is a problem go to rockets full

They're not responding Hello Major Tom are you receiving Turn the thrusters on We're standing by

There's no reply 4 3 2 1

Earth below us

Drifting falling

Floating weightless

Calling calling home

Across the stratosphere

A final message give my wife my love

Then nothing more

Far beneath the ship

The world is mourning

They don't realize that he's alive

No one understands but

Major Tom sees

Now that life commands

This isn't my home

I'm coming home

Earth below us

Drifting falling

Floating weightless

Calling calling 4 3 2 1

Earth below us

Drifting falling

Floating weightless

Calling calling home
