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 

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.
