And thus, from his spaceship, the spaceman heads off Surrounding him nothing but stardust and sun He just told ground control that he had a cough From that day on, he was only with one Years had passed with no sign of him The ground control declared him dead But among the inky void he swims As he was all but one step ahead Two figures, both wearing white, came close Their silky gowns flowing like words in a book He stared, he boggled, he had seen worse All they did was give him a calming look Ground control received an epistle soon Startled look as they saw the ink in blue A few scribbles of stars surrounded the words: "I'm happy, hope you're happy too."

Major Tom
And thus, from his spaceship, the spaceman heads off Surrounding him nothing but stardust and sun He just told ground control that he had a cough From that day on, he was only with one Years had passed with no sign of him The ground control declared him dead But among the inky void he swims As he was all but one step ahead Two figures, both wearing white, came close Their silky gowns flowing like words in a book He stared, he boggled, he had seen worse All they did was give him a calming look Ground control received an epistle soon Startled look as they saw the ink in blue A few scribbles of stars surrounded the words: "I'm happy, hope you're happy too."
Based off of and a sorta sequel to David Bowie's "Major Tom" stories, in his songs "Space oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes."
