Space Oddity

Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom
(10, 9, 8, 7)
Commencing countdown, engines on
(6, 5, 4, 3)
Check ignition, and may God's love be with you
(2, 1, 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 the 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 100,000 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....

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 

You've got your mother in a whirl 
She's not sure if you're a boy, or a girl 
Hey, babe, your hair's alright 
Hey, babe, let's go out tonight 

You like me and I like it all 
We like dancing and we look divine 
You love bands when they're playing hard 
You want more and you want it fast 

They put you down, they say I'm wrong 
You tacky thing, you put them on 

Rebel, rebel, you've torn your dress 
Rebel, rebel, your face is a mess 
Rebel, rebel, how could they know? 
Hot tramp, I love you so 

Don't 'ya? 
Don't 'ya? 

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 

You've got your mother in a whirl 
'Cause she's not sure if you're a boy, or a girl 
Hey, babe, your hair's alright 
Hey, babe, let's stay out tonight 

You like me and I like it all 
We like dancing and we look divine 
You love bands when they're playing hard 
You want more and you want it fast 

They put you down, they say I'm wrong 
You tacky thing, you put them on 

Rebel, rebel, you've torn your dress 
Rebel, rebel, your face is a mess 
Rebel, rebel, how could they know? 
Hot tramp, I love you so 

Don't 'ya? 

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo 

Rebel, rebel, you've torn your dress 
Rebel, rebel, your face is a mess 
Rebel, rebel, how could they know? 
Hot tramp, I love you so 

Don't 'ya? 

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess 
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test 
You've got your transmission and your live wire 
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes 
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes 

And I love your dress 
You're a juvenile success 
Because your face is a mess 

(Rebel rebel) 

So how could they know? 
I said, how could they know? 

(Rebel rebel) 

So what you wanna know 
Calamity's child, chi, cha, chi, cha 

(Rebel rebel) 

Where'd you wanna go? 

What can I do for you? 
Looks like you've been there too 
'Cause you've torn your dress 

(Rebel rebel) 

And your face is a mess 
Ooo, your face is a mess 

(Rebel rebel) 

Ooo, ooo, so how could they know? 
Ah, ah, how could they know? 

(Rebel rebel) 

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
