Standing there alonethe ship is waitingall systems are goare you sure?control is not convincedbut the computerhas the evidence"no need to abort"the countdown startswatching in a trancethe crew is certainnothing left to chanceall is workingtrying to relaxup in the capsule"send me up a drink"jokes Major Tomthe count goes on4 3 2 1
Earth below usdrifting fallingfloating weightlesscalling calling home...second stage is cutwe're now in orbitstabilizers uprunnning perfectstarting to collectrequested datawhat will it effectwhen all is donethinks Major Tomback at ground controlthere is a problemgo to rockets fullnot responding"hello Major Tomare you receivingturn the thrusters onwe're standing by"there's no reply4 3 2 1
Earth below usdrifting fallingfloating weightlesscalling calling home...across the stratospherea final message"give my wife my love"then nothing morefar beneath the shipthe world is mourningthey don't realizehe's aliveno one understandsbut Major Tom seesnow the life commandsthis is my home
I'm coming home
Earth below usdrifting fallingfloating weightlesscoming home...
Earth below usdrifting fallingfloating weightlesscoming home...
Earth below usdrifting fallingfloating weightlesscoming coming home...home..... <to fade>
