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 |
|
Till touch down 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... |
