Major Tom (Völlig Losgelöst)

Peter Schilling 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
