Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling, calling home
[Verse 4]
Second stage is cut
We're now in orbit
Stabilizer's up
Running perfect
Starting to collect
Requested data
What will it effect
When all is done
Thinks Major Tom
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling, calling home
[Verse 7]
Across the stratosphere
A final message
Give my wife my love
Then nothing more
[Verse 8]
Far beneath the ship
The world is mourning
They don't realize
He's alive
No one understands
What Major Tom sees
Now the life commands
This is my home
I'm coming home
[Verse 9]
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling home
[Verse 10]
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling home
[Verse 11]
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling, coming home
