Going on vacation in my spaceship to the moon I'll call you from the station, but don't expect me soon I'll probably stay the weekend, might even stay a week When I'm all through playing "let's pretend" in the Land of Make Believe I'll probably orbit Jupiter and build a sand castle on Mars Then I think I'll take a cruise through Orion's Belt of stars I'll go find the Tomb of Major Tom I'll figure out how it all went wrong I can't lie I might be gone long Long gone And when I've got these dealings done I'll set a course straight for the sun Can you hear me, Major Tom? Planet Earth is blue and it's all because of you.
