Major Tom (Coming Home)

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 TomThe count goes on4, 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
TomBack 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 reply4, 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 life 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
