Space Oddity lyrics

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."
