Space Oddity
GC: Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. (10) Ground control - 9 - to Major Tom - 8 - 7 - 6 - Commencing countdown - 5 - Engine on - 4 - 3 - 2 - Check ignition - 1 - and may God's love be with you. This is Ground control to Major Tom. You've really made the grade. And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear. Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
Major Tom: This 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.
GC: Ground control to Major Tom, your circuits are dead. There's something wrong. Can you here me, Major Tom? Can you here me, Major Tom? Can you here me, Major Tom? Can you...
Major Tom: Here am I floating around my tin can far above the Moon. Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do.
I swear
If I could organize all the celebraties into fantasy families,
and Audrey Hepburn had a daughter,
I’d name her Zooey Deschannel :)
