Ground control, do you read me? Do you recognize
The voice you hear, from forty years ago.
I've been away, lost in space, I bet you thought I died,
A long long time ago, but I never lost control
Where I've been you know
An ordinary man could not survive this long
More then, I've become
I'm not the fragile man who never made it home
Major Tom, still alive, we're sorry that we couldn't
Bring you home, the cost of things, you know
Your wife is dead, children grown, they don't resent you but they
Did move on, I hate to break it to you, bro
Where I've been you know
An ordinary man could not survive this long
More then, I've become
I'm not the fragile man who never made it home
Ground control to major Tom
There's something out there and we think it's locking on
Where I've been you know
An ordinary man could not survive this long
More then, I've become
I'm not the fragile man who never made it home
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ten million dead and we are still being fired upon
