Ground Control To Major Tom

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

Ground control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

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

I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following"
...

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

This was hidden inside the ventilation shaft,
Day No. 33, Captain's Log 445A,
And it seems the captain and its crew are on its last legs,
All this culture clash is getting to me now,
Am I the last one up above in the place?
Tell my wife and kids I love them very much I know,
Ground control to Major Tom

I don't have a clue

I'm so very tired. It's almost all the time now.
