She packed my bags last night pre-flight, zero hour, 9 .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....
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 fuse 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 5 days a week
Rocket maaaaaaaaaan....rocket man
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 fuse 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
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time.....
