Major Tom (Coming Home) – Alon Cohen Remix lyrics by Apoptygma Berzerk

Verse 1
Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
All systems are 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

Pre-Chorus
Four, three, two, one…

Instrumental

Distorted lyrics
The ship is waiting…

Verse 2
Second stage is cut, we’re now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect requested data
„What will it affect when all is done?”
Thinks Major Tom *(Thinks Major Tom)*
Back at Ground Control, there is a problem
„Go to rockets full,” not responding
„Hello, Major Tom, are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on, we’re standing by”
There’s no reply

Pre-Chorus
Four, three, two, one

Chorus
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless, calling, calling home
Calling home

Verse 3
Across the stratosphere, a final message
„Give my wife my love,” *(my love)* then nothing more
Far beneath the ship the world is mourning
They don’t realize he’s alive
No one understands, but Major Tom sees
„Now the light commands, this is my home
I’m coming home”

Pre-Chorus
Four, three, two, one

Chorus
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless, calling, calling home
(background vocals: Earth below us, drifting, falling…)
Calling home (…floating weightless, coming, coming home)
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless, coming, coming home
Home
Coming home
Home
