Rocket Man

[Verse 1]

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight

Zero hour, 9 AM

And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the Earth so much, I miss my life

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

Rocket man

Burning out his fuse up here alone

[Verse 2]

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

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

Rocket man

Burning out his fuse up here alone

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

Rocket man

Burning out his 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)
