I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

You got to go there by yourself
Nobody else can go for you
You got to go there by yourself

You got to go there by yourself
Nobody else, nobody else can go for you
You got to go there by yourself
