    Space Oddity parts 1 & 2. Part 2 is called "Ashes To Ashes".

    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

    Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine Eight, Seven, Six)
    Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three, Two)
    Check ignition and may God's love be with you (One, Liftoff)

    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

    This is Major Tom to Ground Control
    I'm stepping through the door
    And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
    And the stars look very different today

    For here
    Am I sitting in a tin can
    Far above the world
    Planet Earth is blue
    And there's nothing I can do

    Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
    I'm feeling very still
    And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
    Tell my wife I love her very much... she knows

    Ground Control to Major Tom
    Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
    Can you hear me, Major Tom?
    Can you hear me, Major Tom?
    Can you hear me, Major Tom?
    Can you....

    Here am I floating round my tin can
    Far above the moon
    Planet Earth is blue
    And there's nothing I can do.

    THEN ...

    Do you remember a guy that's been
    In such an early song
    I heard a rumour from ground control
    Oh no, don't say it's true
    They got a message from the action man
    "I'm happy hope you're happy too
    I've loved all I've needed love
    Sordid details following
    The shrieking of nothing is killing
    Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
    And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
    But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing aglow, aglow"

    Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
    We know Major Tom's a junkie
    Strung out on heaven's high
    Hitting an all time low

    "Time and again I tell myself
    I'll stay clean tonight
    But the little green wheels are following me
    Oh no not again
    I'm stuck with a valuable friend
    I'm happy hope you're happy too
    One flash of light
    But no smoking pistol
    I've never done good things
    I've never done bad things
    I never did anything out of the blue
    Want an axe to break the ice
    Want to come down right now"

    Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
    We know Major Tom's a junkie
    Strung out on heaven's high
    Hitting an all time low

    My mama said to get things done
    You better not mess with Major Tom
    My mama said to get things done
    You better not mess with Major Tom
    My mama said to get things done
    You better not mess with Major Tom …
