Song Lyrics Space Oddity by David Bowie


David Bowie

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 sitting in a tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do

David Bowie Artist Fact:

Born David Robert Jones in 1947, David Bowie first attained mainstream success in 1969, when his song “Space Oddity” made it to the Top Five of the singles chart in the UK. After three years of experimentation, Bowie re-emerged in the 70s as “Ziggy Stardust,” his glam rock space age alter ego. He would score a hit single with “Starman.” The Ziggy Stardust persona was short-lived, but gave the music listening public a good dose of what would become a stunning career of frequent self re-invention and artistic innovation....David_Bowie Bio
