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      (spoken)   Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff      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 through the door   And I'm floating in a most peculiar way   And the stars look very different today      For here   Am I sitting in 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."
