Ground control to Major Tom,
Ground control to Major Tom:
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
Ground control to Major Tom:
(Spoke at the same time as previous line) Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven,
Commencing count down: Engines on.
(Spoken at the same time as previous line) Six, Five, Four,Three,
Check ignition and may God’s love be with you.
(Spoken at the same time as previous line) Two, One, Lift off!
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 thro’ the door,
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way.
And the stars look very different today.
(For) here am I sitting a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do.
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”
Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do.VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
