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
