Thoroughly checked
She stands there
And waits for the start
All clear

Experts argue
About a few data
The crew still has
A few questions, but
The countdown is running

Effectiveness
Determines the action
One blindly relies
On the other

Everyone knows exactly
What depends on him
Everyone is stressed
But Major Tom
Makes a joke

Then he takes off and!

Completely detached
From the earth
Floats the spaceship
Completely weightless

The gravity
Is overcome
Everything runs perfectly
For hours already

Scientific
Experiments
But what use are they
In the end
Thinks Major Tom

In the control center
They get panicky
The course of the capsule
Is not right at all

Hello Major Tom
Can you hear
Do you want to destroy
The project like this?
But, he can't hear anything
He keeps floating

Completely detached
From the earth
Floats the spaceship
Completely weightless

The earth shimmers blue
His last radio message comes
Greet my wife for me!
And he falls silent

Down below, the egoists
Are still mourning
Major Tom thinks
If they only knew
A light leads me here
Through space
You don't know that yet
I'll be back soon
I'm getting cold

Completely detached
From the earth
Floats the spaceship
Weightless

Completely detached
From the earth
Floats the spaceship
Weightless

Completely detached
From the earth
Floats the spaceship
Completely weightle-e-e-e-ss

Le-e-e-e-ss
Le-e-e-e-ss
Le-e-e-e-ss
Le-e-e-e-ss
