Space Oddity/ Rocket Man Songtext
von Jon English

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 my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there′s nothing I can do

And I think it′s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me
Around again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no,
I′m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone
I think it's gonna be a long long time


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? x3
Can you

Here am I floating
In my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

And I think it′s gonna be a long time
I think it′s gonna be a long long time.
