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

Four, Three, Two, One
Earth below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless
Calling calling home

Second stage is cut.
We´re now in orbit
Stabilizers [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.

Four, Three, Two, One
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 [bad word] This is my home [bad word] home."

Earth below us
Drifting falling.
Floating weightless
Calling home

Earth Below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless [bad word] home.....
