Rocket Man
Elton John, Bernie Taupin
She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
Zero hour, nine A.M.
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 as this
CHORUS:
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone
Mars ain't the kinda 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
Rocket man - - - rocket man
CHORUS:
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
