You went up, so bright Tom
Thought my love was rocketing you along
When you didn't come back, and didn't come back
My nova heart collapsed to a black, black hole
Floating on sine waves in inner space
Awaiting a signal of grace
From ground control, to lost control
Ballet to battle, halo to hole
You were so far gone
Right was wrong, up was down
By going still further on
You hoped to come around
It was light years long
Dear husband Tom
At last back you've come
Yet still, you're gone
Floating on sine waves in inner space
Awaiting a signal of grace
From ground control, to lost control
Ballet to battle, halo to hole
I watched the skies, for all that time
And now your asteroid eyes
Say you were never mine
Never mine, never mine
Never, never mine
Floating on sine waves in inner space
Awaiting a signal of grace
From ground control, to lost control
Ballet to battle, halo to hole
You didn't burn up
My Major Tom
You just burnt out
You just burnt out
Thought my love was rocketing you along
When you didn't come back, and didn't come back
My nova heart collapsed to a black, black hole
Floating on sine waves in inner space
Awaiting a signal of grace
From ground control, to lost control
Ballet to battle, halo to hole
You were so far gone
Right was wrong, up was down
By going still further on
You hoped to come around
It was light years long
Dear husband Tom
At last back you've come
Yet still, you're gone
Floating on sine waves in inner space
Awaiting a signal of grace
From ground control, to lost control
Ballet to battle, halo to hole
I watched the skies, for all that time
And now your asteroid eyes
Say you were never mine
Never mine, never mine
Never, never mine
Floating on sine waves in inner space
Awaiting a signal of grace
From ground control, to lost control
Ballet to battle, halo to hole
You didn't burn up
My Major Tom
You just burnt out
You just burnt out
