Take your protein pills and put your helmet onGround control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven)Commencing countdown, engines on (six, five, four, three)Check ignition, and may God's love be with you (two, one, lift off)
This is ground control to Major TomYou've really made the gradeAnd the papers want to know whose shirts you wearNow it's time to leave the capsule if you dareThis is Major Tom to ground controlI'm stepping through the doorAnd I'm floating in the most peculiar wayAnd the stars look very different todayFor here am I sitting in a tin canFar above the worldPlanet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand milesI'm feeling very stillAnd I think my spaceship knows which way to goTell my wife I love her very much, she knowsGround control to Major TomYour circuit's dead, there's something wrongCan 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 canFar above the MoonPlanet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do.
