Rocket Man

I heard the altar call of the rocket man As he pleaded on the mount Then were we like those who dreamed And the tired tiger jumped through hoops of fire One last time for the crowd Then were we like those who dream I saw containerships of man's demise Ride tidal waves to hell Then were we like those who dreamed And the whales that did pass by They did not blink or wish us well Then were we like those who dream All the stones that broke the bones Can't maim the soul within you Time's just a thing you live through, baby All the things that make me sing Are just songs I'm relearning There's nothing here I'm earning Ah-ah And on the eighth day man made a machine Likened to his image Then were we like those who dreamed And he argued whether or whether not It would kill and eat his village Then were we like those who dream All the stones that broke the bones Can't maim the soul within you Time's just a thing you live through, baby All the things that make me sing Are just songs I'm relearning There's nothing here I'm earning Ah-ah I saw the ministers of relevant humanity trade cards Then were we like those who dreamed And I looked into that valley and I knew it would be hard Then were we like those who dream All the stones that broke the bones Won't maim the soul within you Time's just a thing you live through, baby All the things that make me sing Are just songs I'm relearning There's nothing here I'm earning Ah-ah-ah
