Fenix*Tx - Major Tom lyrics

rate me

Standing there alone the ship is waiting

All systems are go, are you sure?

Control is not convinced but the computer

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

4, 3, 2, 1

Earth below us drifting, falling

Floating weightless

Calling, calling

Second stage is cut we're now in orbit

Stabilizers up, running perfect

Starting to collect requested data

What will it effect 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 thrusters on we're standing by"

There's no reply

4, 3, 2, 1

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 life commands this is my home

I'm coming home

Earth below us drifting, falling

Floating weightless

Calling, calling

Earth below us drifting, falling

Floating weightless

Calling, calling home, home

Home, home
