Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine A.M
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
[Verse 2]
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
[Verse 3]
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, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out of fuse up here alone
[Verse 4]
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, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out of fuse up here alone
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
And all this science I don't understand
It's just a job five days a week
A rocket man
Rocket man
[Verse 7]
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, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out of fuse up here alone
[Verse 8]
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, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out of fuse up here alone
[Verse 9]
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Yeah, it's gonna be a long long time
I think it's gonna be a long long time
[Verse 10]
Ooh ooh
[Verse 11]
I'm a rocket man
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
Rocket man
[Verse 12]
How would you get any air
How would you get any air
How would you get any air
Rocket man, rocket man
[Verse 13]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 14]
I think it's gonna be a long long time
Long long time
[Verse 15]
Oh, oh, ooh
Ooh ooh
[Verse 16]
Cause I'm a rocket
I'm a rocket
I'm a rock, rocket
I'm a rockin' rocket
I'm a rockin' rocket man
