Rocket Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man, a rocket man
Burning out my fuse up here alone
[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man, a rocket man
Burning out my fuse up here alone
[Verse 2]
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise a kid
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job, five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man, a rocket man
Burning out my fuse up here alone
[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man, a rocket man
Burning out my fuse up here alone
[Verse 2]
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise a kid
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job, five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man, a rocket man
Burning out my fuse up here alone
[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man, a rocket man
Burning out my fuse up here alone
[Outro]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man, a rocket man
Burning out my fuse up here alone
[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man, a rocket man
Burning out my fuse up here alone
[Outro]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
