Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on

Ground control to Major Tom Commencing countdown engines on

Detach from station and may Gods 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 its time to guide the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground control I've left forever more

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 theres' 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 back down 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 And I'm floating in my tin can

A last glimpse of the world Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left

to do
