Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 God's love be with you

[Instrumental]

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

This is Major Tom to Ground Control

I'm stepping through the door

And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

Don't the stars look very different today?

[Chorus]

For here am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

Planet Earth is blue

And there's nothing I can do

[Instrumental]

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 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?

Can you

[Chorus]

Here am I floating in a tin can

Far above the moon

Planet Earth is blue

And there's nothing I can do

[Outro]

There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can do

Nothing I can, nothing I can do

There's nothing I can do

Nothing I can do
