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, running perfect, starting to collect.

Requested data, what will it affect when it's all done?

Thanks 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

Four, three, two, one

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
