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 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 
4, 3, 2, 1 
Earth below us 
Drifting, falling 
Floating weightless 
Coming home 
Earth below us 
Drifting, falling 
Floating weightless 
Coming, coming home
