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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
This is Major Tom to ground control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floatin' in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
[Verse 4]
For here am I, sitting in my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
[Verse 5]
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feelin' very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Here am I, floating in a my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
