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 gets so lonely out in s***e
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
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And it's noone there to raise them if you did
And all this science well I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
I'm a rocket man, I'm a rocket man
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
And I think it's gonna be a long long time...
For a rocket man
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 gets so lonely out in s***e
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
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And it's noone there to raise them if you did
And all this science well I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
I'm a rocket man, I'm a rocket man
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
And I think it's gonna be a long long time...
For a rocket man
