Complimentary "Major Tom" Ringtone

Standing here alone

The ship is waiting, all systems a 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 home
Second stage is cut

We're now in orbit, stabilizers up

We're running perfect

Starting to collect, requested data

What will it affect, when all is done?

Thinks Major Tom
Back at ground control

There is a problem, go to rockets full

They're 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, that he's alive

No one understands but Major Tom sees

Now that life commands

This isn't my home

I'm coming home
Earth below us

Drifting, falling

Floating weightless

Calling, calling

4,3,2,1

Earth below us

Drifting, falling

Floating weightless

Calling, calling home

Complimentary "Major Tom" Ringtone
