Standing there alone, the ship is waiting |
|
All systems are go, are you sure? |
|
Control is not convinced |
|
But the computer has the evidence |
|
No need to abort |
|
The countdown starts |
|
Watching in a trance, the crew is certain |
|
Nothing left to chance, all is working |
|
Trying to relax, up in the capsule |
|
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom |
|
The count goes on |
|
4, 3, 2, 1 |
|
Earth below us, drifting falling |
|
Floating weightless, calling calling home |
|
Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit |
|
Stabilizers up, running perfect |
|
Starting to collect, requested data |
|
What will it effect, when all is done |
|
Thinks Major Tom |
|
Back at ground control, there is a problem |
|
Go to rockets full, not responding |
|
Hello Major Tom, are you receiving |
|
Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by |
|
There's no reply |
|
4, 3, 2, 1 |
|
Earth below us, drifting, falling |
|
Floating, weightless, calling, calling, home |
|
Across the stratosphere |
|
A final message, "Give my wife my love" |
|
Then nothing more |
|
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning |
|
They don't realize, he's alive |
|
No one understands but Major Tom sees |
|
Now the light commands, this is my home |
|
I'm coming home |
|
Earth below us, drifting, falling |
|
Floating, weightless, coming home |
|
Earth below us, drifting, falling |
|
Floating, weightless, coming home |
|
Earth below us, drifting, falling |
|
Floating, weightless, coming, coming home |
|
Home |
