Gun Control to Major Tom
Gun Control to Major Tom
Take your Bullets
and put your helmet on
Gun Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown,
Safety off
Check ignition
and may God's love be with you
[spoken]
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Fire
This is Gun 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 trigger
if you dare
This is Major Tom to Gun Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm firing
in a most peculiar way
And the bodies look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is red and 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 bullets know which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
she knows
Gun Control to Major Tom
Your mind is dead, your family too
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 firing
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is black and blue
And there's nothing I can do.
