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
