Major Tom (Coming Home) [2022 Remaster]

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting

All systems are 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

Four, three, two, one

Earth below us, drifting, falling

Floating weightless, calling, calling home

Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit

Stabilizers up, 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, not responding

"Hello Major Tom, are you receiving?

Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by"

There's no reply

Four, three, two, one

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 he's alive

No one understands, but Major Tom sees

"Now the light commands, this is my home

I'm coming home"

Earth below us, drifting, falling

Floating weightless, coming home

Earth below us, drifting, falling

Floating weightless, coming home

Earth below us, drifting, falling

Floating weightless, coming, coming home
