Ground control to major town Ground control to major town Take your protein pills and put your helmet on Ground control to major town Commencing countdown, engines on Check ignition and may God's love be with you This is ground control to major town You really made the grade And the papers want to know who shot you where Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare For here am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do This is major town 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 floating round my tin can Far above the moon Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
