Space Oddity
Helloween Lyrics

Ground Control to Major Tom
Communication from the space agency to the astronaut

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Preparing the astronaut for his space mission

Commencing countdown, engines on
Starting the launch countdown for the spacecraft

Check ignition and may God's love be with you
Wishing the astronaut good luck and safety during the launch

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff
Countdown to the spacecraft launch

You've really made the grade
Complimenting the astronaut on his success in becoming an astronaut

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
The media is curious about the personal life of the astronaut

Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
The astronaut is being urged to explore outer space even further

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
Communication from the astronaut to the space agency

I'm stepping through the door
The astronaut is exiting the spacecraft

And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
The sensation of movement in outer space is different from on Earth

And the stars look very different today
Outer space provides a different perspective on the constellations

For here
Acknowledging the current position of the astronaut

Am I sitting in a tin can
The confined space of the spacecraft

Far above the world
The high altitude of the spacecraft's orbit

Planet Earth is blue
The prominent color of the Earth as viewed from space

And there's nothing I can do
The sense of helplessness in the vastness of outer space

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
The impressive distance covered by the spacecraft

I'm feeling very still
The sensation of weightlessness in space

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Relying on technology for navigation

Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Final message to loved ones before continuing the mission

Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Communication problems arising in the spacecraft

Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Attempts to reconnect with the astronaut

Here am I floating round my tin can
The sensation of movement in space around the spacecraft

Far above the Moon
The spacecraft is orbiting the Moon

And there's nothing I can do.
Similar to earlier in the song, the sense of helplessness in space
