Earth below us, drifting, falling.

Floating weightless, calling, calling home...

Starting to collect, requested data.

Thinks Major Tom.

Back at ground control, there is a problem.

"Go to rockets full.". Not responding.

"Hello Major Tom. Are you receiving?"

Across the stratosphere, a final message:

"Give my wife my love."
Em baritone chordEm
Then nothing more.

Em baritone chordEm
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning.

They don't realize: he's alive.

No one understands, but Major Tom sees.

"Now the light commands, this is my home,
Em baritone chordEm
I'm coming home."

About this song: Major Tom

Initially released as a single in early May 2009 and subsequently used in a TV commercial promoting the 2010 Lincoln MKZ, this track is a cover of the Peter Schilling song of the same name, Major Tom (Coming Home). Schilling's original song, Major Tom, is in German. The song centers around the fictional astronaut Major Tom (created by David Bowie) and a disaster in space.
