She packed my bags last night, preflight
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
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
Ah, no no no...
I`m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin` out his fuse
Up there 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
Ah, no no no...
I`m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin` out his fuse
Up there alone
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
Rocket Man
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
Ah, no no no...
Imma rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin` out his fuse
Up there 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
Ah, no no no...
I`m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin` out his fuse
Up there alone
