Standing there alone 
The ship is waiting 
All systems are go 
"Are you sure?” 
Control is not convinced 
But [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] home 
Earth below us 
Drifting, falling 
Floating weightless [bad word]  coming home
