Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Take your proein pill and put your helmet on

Ground control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may GOd's love be woth you.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, liftoff

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 a tin can
far above the world
Planet earth is blue
and theres nothing I can do

though I'm past 100,000 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 circuits dead, theres something wrong
Can you hear me major tom?
Can you hear me major tom?
Can you hear me major tom?
can you

Here an I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
and theres nothing I can do.

Essex music international/produced by Gus Dudgeon/David Bowie - The
singles collection.

This is the best I can do. I suppose the remake used the same words -
I havent heard it.

Major Tom (Voellig Losgeloest)
By: Peter Schilling

Gruendlich durchgecheckt
steht sie da
und wartet auf den Start
Alles klar.
Experten streiten sich
um ein paar Daten
die Crew hat dann noch
ein paar Fragen, doch
der Countdown laeuft

Effektivitaet
bestimmt das Handeln
Man verlaesst sich blind
auf den andern
jeder weiss genau
was von ihm abhaengt,
jeder ist im Stress
doch Major Tom
macht einen Scherz.
Dann hebt er ab und!

Ref:
Voellig losgeloest
von der Erde
schwebt das Raumschiff
voellig schwerelos

Die Erdanziehungskraft
ist überwunden
Alles laeuft perfekt
schon seit Stunden
Wissenschaftliche
Experimente,
doch was nutzen die
am Ende denkt
sich Major Tom

Im Kontrollzentrum
da wird man panisch.
Der Kurs der Kapsel der
stimmt ja gar nicht.
Hallo Major Tom
koennen Sie hoeren
wollen Sie das Projekt
denn so zerstoeren, doch
er kann nichts hoer´n
er schwebt weiter

Ref:
Voellig losgeloest
von der Erde
schwebt das Raumschiff
voellig schwerelos

Die Erde schimmert blau
Sein letzter Funk kommt:
Gruesst mir meine Frau
Und er verstummt

Unten trauern noch
die Egoisten,
Major Tom denkt sich
Wenn die wuessten,
mich fuehrt hier ein Licht
durch das All,
das kennt ihr noch nicht,
ich komme bald
Mir wird kalt.

Ref:
Voellig losgeloest
Von der Erde
Schwebt das Raumschiff


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 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
runnning 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 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...
home..... <to fade>
