Space Oddity Lyrics - Live In Concert - Natalie Merchant

Ground Control to Major Tom 

Ground Control to Major Tom 

Take your protein pills 

And put your helmet on 

Ground Control to Major Tom 

Commencing countdown, engines on 

Check ignition 

And may God's love be with you 

(spoken) 

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff 

This is Ground Control to Major Tom 

You've really made the grade 

And the papers want to know 

Whose shirts you wear 

Now it's time to leave 

The capsule if you dare 

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control 

I'm stepping through the door 

And I'm floating in a most peculiar way 

And the stars look very different today 

For here 

Am I sitting in a tin can 

Far above the world 

Planet Earth is blue 

And there's nothing I can do 

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles 

I'm feeling very still 

And I think my spaceship 

Knows which way to go 

Tell my wife I love her 

Very much she knows" 

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.... 

"Here am I floating round my tin can 

Far above the Moon 

Planet Earth is blue 

And there's nothing I can do."
