Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Bowie:Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Hadfield:Lock your Soyuz haych and put your helmet on
Ground control to major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Bowie: Check ignition and may gods love be with you
Hadfield: 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
Bowie:Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
Hadfield:But it's time to guide the capsule if you dare
Bowie:This is major Tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door
Hadfield:This is major Tom to ground control, I've left forevermore
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
Bowie:Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
Hadfield:Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do
Bowie:Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
Hadfield:Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
BowieAnd I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Hadfield:And before too long I know it's time to go.
Bowie:Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Hadfield:Our commander comes down back to earth and knows
Bowie:Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead, there's something wrong
Hadfield: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?
Bowie:For here am I sitting in my tin can far above the Moon
Hadfield:For here am I sitting in my tin can Last glimpse of the world
Bowie:Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
Hadfield: Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do
