Peter Schilling: Major Tom (Music Video)

Peter Schilling: Major Tom

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
All systems are go, are you sure
Control is not convinced
But the computer has the evidence
No need to abort

The countdown starts

Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax, up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom
The count goes on

Four, Three, Two, One
Earth below us, drifting falling
Floating weightless, calling calling home

Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect, requested data
What will it effect, when all is done
Thinks Major Tom

Back at ground control, there is a problem
Go to rockets full, not responding
Hello Major Tom, are you receiving
Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by
There's no reply

Four, Three, Two, One
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating, weightless, calling, calling, home

Across the stratosphere
A final message, "Give my wife my love"
Then nothing more

Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning
They don't realize, he's alive
No one understands but Major Tom sees
Now the light commands, this is my home
I'm coming home

Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating, weightless, coming home

Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating, weightless, coming home

Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating, weightless, coming, coming home
Home

Breaking Bad: Gale Boetticher Song

All systems are go
All's working
And nothing more
Are you receiving
Are you sure?
Calling home
Coming home
Computer
Control is not sure
Countdown starts
Crews are waiting
Drifting falling
Earth below us
Final message
Floating weightless
He's alive
I'm coming home
It's major Tom
Jokes major Tom
No need to aboard
No reply
Not responding
Nothing left to chance
Ships are waiting
Standing there alone
This is my home
We are standing by

Breaking Bad: Bryan Cranston Answering Fan's Questions

Actor's toolbox

Biggest thing in New Mexico

By end of the day

Christmas

Down play it

Drop the cloth

Ducking bullets

Fighting for family's health

Filing away

Give the right set of circumstance

Mundane highschool teacher

Nice hot wet towel

Not be so out there

Observant

Pull out the notes

Red or green

Shed the character

Total bad ass

Under pressure

Watch them over the newspaper

Working with big A

Wouldn't be interesting
