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 a 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 one hundred thousand 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."
