Song lyrics
Artist : David Bowie 
Title : Space Oddity 
----------------- 
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 of 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 floating round my tin can 
Far above the moon 
Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do... 

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...

Bowie is the bes person i have herd in a long time. So what if he was on drugs, that has nothin to do with anyone ealse. But David Bowie, is a grate singer and all the song he has sang are very good. So no one can should say anythin bad bout him, because her regreted takein drugs once he realised what he was better at do, and that was his singing career and his acting in Labyrinth.

Bowie captured the talk between Mjor Tom and Ground control PERFECTLY!! But you need to listen to Ashes to Ashes after you listen to Space Oddity.

ALL HAIL LORD BOWIE!!

thunderstruck, this song IS about an astronaut in space NOT drugs!!!!

it was meant to me realesed just before they sent the first person into space (or first american or something) but they wouldntlet it be released because it would stuff everything up (naturally)

this is bowies best song in my opinion, because i dont like Bowie's music that much, but i really do like this song.

OK just to clear everyone up. Yes this song is obviously about and astroughnot and space but also in a way about drugs because he fucking insane high when he wrote it.
Its an awesome song with so many levels and i love it. and i love tons of his other songs but yes he did get horrible after the eighties... i should know because i bought one of his new(ish) cds without knowing how bad he was gonna be...
and well long story short. the cd is floating somewhere in the ocean.
