rocket man (i think it's going to be a long long time)

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

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

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

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

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

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
