Echoes from the outer space

Ground Control to Major Tom
 (I would like to lose control...)
Ground Control to Major Tom
 (I would like to lose control...)

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
 (People screaming in the dome: 
        oh they're shouting all the time.
 I would like to lose control,
        I will dare to lose control)
 
Ground Control to Major Tom
 (I want to break the chiefs' control... 
        break the rules and lose control)
Commencing countdown, engines on
 (Scary monsters all around. 
        And black monsters in my soul)
Check ignition and may God’s love be with you
 (Oh God, tell me when I've to go!)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
 (Yes, I need to lose control)
You’ve really made the grade
 (... I'm floating in my mood...)
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
 (I forget the world at all)
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare
 (Well, Babe, I did it before !)

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
 (Yeah !)
I’m stepping through the door
 (Fuck yourself, I'm goin' to escape)
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
 (And...)
And the stars look very different today
 (... bye bye, guys, I'll reach the stars)
For here ..."

Am I sitting in a tin can
 (... floating in the outer space...)
Far above the world
 (The monsters are locked, where?)
Planet Earth is blue
 (Wooo-wonderfullll...)
And there’s nothing I can do
 (I was blue, and now no more)

Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
 (Leaving now every war)
I’m feeling very still 
 (Steady calm...)
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
 (I really hope it...)
Tell my wife I love her very much “she knows”
 (... I'm insane!)

Ground Control to Major Tom
 (bip bip bip bip bip...)
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
 (bip bip bip bip bi....)
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
 (...)
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
 (...)
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
 (...)
Can you hear..
 

"Am I floating round a tin can
  (I hug the space)
Far above the Moon
 (Very far from there)
Planet Earth is blue
 (Tiny people disappear)
And there’s nothing I can do"
 (And the sun begins to shine!)
