Space Oddity

his is major Tom to ground control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most 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 one hundred thousand 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
