Cold – Space Oddity lyrics
Originally Written/Performed by David Bowie

Ground control to major tom
Ground control to major tom
Ground control to majot 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

(backround) Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
Five, four, three, two, one, liftoff

(Pause)

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

(Pause)

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....
Am i sitting in a tin can.
Far above the moon.
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.
