Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on

Ground control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown engines on
Detach from station 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
But it's time to guide the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to ground control

I've left forevermore

And I'm floating in most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world


The planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do
Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still
And before too long I know it's time to go
Our commander comes down back to earth, and knows


Ground control to Major Tom
The time is near, there's not too long

Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you hear...

Here am I floating in my tin can

A last glimpse of the world
The planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do
