[G/f#] /

It's a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair

But her mother is yelling "No" and her father as told her to go

[G/f#] /

But her friend is nowhere to be seen

as she walks through her sunken dream

To the seat with the clearest view

and she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore

For she's lived it ten times or more

She could spit in the eyes of fools as they ask her to focus on

Chorus

Sailors, fighting in the dance hall

Oh man! look at those cavemen go, it's a freakest show

Take a look at the Lawman, beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know he's in the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?

Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom:

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to Major Tom: Commencing countdown engine's on

Check ig-nition and may God's love be with you

This is ground control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade!

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,

now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

[G/f#] /

It's on Amerika's tortured brow Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

Now the workers have struck for fame Cause Lennon's on sale again

[G/f#] /

See the mice in their million hordes

From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads

Rule Brittania is out of bounds

To my mother, my dog and clowns

But the film is a saddening bore

`Cause I wrote it ten times before

It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus 'cuz

This is Major Tom to ground con-trol, I'm stepping through the door

And I'm floating in the most peculiar way

and the stars look very different today
