4...3...2...1...
Earth below us...
drifting falling...
floating weightless,
calling calling home...

When at the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down
Stay out I'll stay in

I just recently bought a CD called living in oblivion: The 80s just for that song. When you listen to it it's so haunting. I miss the 80s.

Granted this song is STONGLY influenced by Bowie's '69 classic Space Oddity...hence the title Major Tom and also Bowie's time spent in Berlin. But Major Tom (Peter Schilling) came out in 1983...
so yea.... THE 80s

Across the stratosphere, a final message
"Give my wife my love"
Then nothing more.
God, that's haunting.

The German is the original lyric -- the English was the translation. Not a recording, but:
Gründlich durchgecheckt
steht sie da
und wartet auf den Start
Alles klar.
Experten streiten sich
um ein paar Daten
die Crew hat dann noch
ein paar Fragen, doch
der Countdown läuft
Effektivität
bestimmt das Handeln
Man verläßt sich blind
auf den andern
jeder weiß genau
was von ihm abhängt,
jeder ist im Streß,
doch Major Tom
macht einen Scherz.
Dann hebt er ab und!
Ref:
Völlig losgelöst
von der Erde
schwebt das Raumschiff
völlig schwerelos
Die Erdanziehungskraft
ist überwunden
Alles läuft perfekt
schon seit Stunden
Wissenschaftliche
Experimente,
doch was nutzen die
am Ende denkt
sich Major Tom
Im Kontrollzentrum
da wird man panisch.
Der Kurs der Kapsel der
stimmt ja gar nicht.
Hallo Major Tom
koennen Sie hören
woll'n Sie das Projekt
denn so zerstören, doch
er kann nichts hörn
er schwebt weiter
Ref:
Völlig losgelöst
von der Erde
schwebt das Raumschiff
völlig schwerelos
Die Erde schimmert blau
Sein letzter Funk kommt:
Grüßt mir meine Frau
Und er verstummt
Unten trauern noch
die Egoisten,
Major Tom denkt sich
Wenn die wüßten,
mich führt hier ein Licht
durch das All,
das kennt ihr noch nicht,
ich komme bald
Mir wird kalt.
Ref:
Völlig losgelöst
Von der Erde
Schwebt das Raumschiff
