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 Gods love be with you

This is ground control to Major Tom

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know who's shirts you wear

Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is ground control to Major Tom

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know who's 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

And the stars look very diff-rent to-day

Here I am sitting in my tin can

Far above the world

Planet Earth is blue

And theres nothing I can do

This is Major Tom to ground control

I'm stepping through the door

And I'm floating in a most perculiar way

And the stars look very diff-rent to-day

Here I am floating round my tin can

Far above the moon

Planet Earth is blue

And theres 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 circuits dead, there's something wrong

Can you hear me Major Tom ?

Can you hear me Major Tom ?

Can you ?................
