Major Tom (Völlig Losgelöst)
Peter Schilling
Major Tom (Completely Detached)
Thoroughly checked
She stands there
And waits for the start
All clear
Experts argue
About a few data
The crew then has
A few questions, but
The countdown is on
Effectiveness
Determines the actions
One blindly relies
On the other
Everyone knows exactly
What depends on them
Everyone is stressed
But Major Tom
Makes a joke
Then he takes off and
Completely detached
From the Earth
The spaceship floats
Completely weightless
The Earth's gravity
Is overcome
Everything runs perfectly
For hours
Scientific
Experiments
But what use are they
In the end
Thinks Major Tom
In the control center
There is panic
The course of the capsule
Isn't right at all
Hello, Major Tom
Can you hear?
Do you want to
Destroy the project like this?
But he can't hear anything
He continues to float
Completely detached
From the Earth
The spaceship floats
Completely weightless
The Earth shimmers blue
His last radio message comes
Say hello to my wife!
And he falls silent
Below, the egoists mourn
Major Tom thinks
If they only knew
A light is guiding me
Through space
You don't know that yet
I'm coming soon
I'm getting cold
Completely detached
From the Earth
The spaceship floats
