Major Tom (Völlig losgelöst) English translation
von MXM & Chris van Dutch

Thoroughly checked, there she stands
And waits for the launch, all clear
Experts argue over a few data points
The crew still has a few questions
But the countdown is on

Efficiency dictates the actions
They rely blindly on each other
Everyone knows exactly what's at stake
Everyone is stressed
But Major Tom makes a joke

Then he lifts off and

Completely detached from the Earth
The spaceship floats weightlessly

Earth's gravitational pull is overcome
Everything has been running perfectly, for hours now
Scientific experiments
"But what good are they in the end?"
Thinks Major Tom


In the control center, panic ensues
The capsule's course is way off
"Hello, Major Tom, can you hear?
Do you want to destroy the project?"
But he can't hear anything

He floats on

Completely detached from the Earth
The spaceship floats weightlessly

The Earth shimmers blue, his last transmission comes
"Say hello to my wife," and he falls silent
Below, the egotists mourn
Major Tom thinks: "If they only knew
A light guides me through space
You don't know it yet, but I am coming soon
I am getting cold"

Completely detached from the Earth
The spaceship floats weightlessly
Completely detached from the Earth
The spaceship floats weightlessly
Completely detached from the Earth
The spaceship floats completely weightlessly

Go
Go
Go
