[Instrumental Introduction] They said “It won't be easy. It could end real bad.” I said I didn't care. I told them “I'm your man.” They shook their heads in disbelief, but gave the go-ahead. We all knew if the mission failed, that I was good as dead. I had to know what happened to Major Tom….. I had to find his body, if I could….. I need to bring him home with honor once again….. If I can't, I will join him,...as I should. All was going well, or so it seemed to me. He stepped out of the capsule, doing fine. The view just took his breath away, apparently….. From there, the wicked world looked so divine. [Instrumental interlude] I had to know what happened to Major Tom….. I had to find his body, if I could….. I need to bring him home with honor once again….. If I can't, I will join him,...as I should. Perhaps he'd had enough of the way things were. His training was intense and not in vain. Perhaps he decided that there's more to life…. Than the lies, the deception and the pain. Major Tom…..(Major Tom) Here I come…..(Here I come) Perhaps I'll change my mind and I’ll join you here. Major Tom…..(Major Tom) Where is home?.....(Where is home?) In the cold hell where I came from…. or will I find it near? [Instrumental interlude] I can see you, Major Tom…… I can see you…… I can see you Major Tom….. May I….join….you?...... It's beautiful up here. I think I'm going to stay. It makes more sense to me that it's the better way (way, way, way, way, way, way…..) Hello, Major Tom…. I'm here….to stay. [Instrumental outro]
