You went up, so bright Tom Thought my love was rocketing you along When you didn't come back, and didn't come back My nova heart collapsed to a black, black hole Floating on sine waves in inner space Awaiting a signal of grace From ground control, to lost control Ballet to battle, halo to hole You were so far gone Right was wrong, up was down By going still further on You hoped to come around It was light years long Dear husband Tom At last back you've come Yet still, you're gone Floating on sine waves in inner space Awaiting a signal of grace From ground control, to lost control Ballet to battle, halo to hole I watched the skies, for all that time And now your asteroid eyes Say you were never mine Never mine, never mine Never, never mine Floating on sine waves in inner space Awaiting a signal of grace From ground control, to lost control Ballet to battle, halo to hole You didn't burn up My Major Tom You just burnt out You just burnt out
