She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour nine AM. 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
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 And all this science I don't understand It's just my job five days a week You don't wanna be high High like me
[Chorus:] 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
Eh, eh I'm a rocket man Yeah I'm a rocket man I'm a rocket man
[Bun B:] Huston we got some problems I don't know how your boy gonna solve them The command center just won't leak And it counts us down I don't know what to think Happening in a blink Sorta like the big Bang How did something so small Urn in to a big thing One small move turn in to a big chain Don't waste no trouble I'll make range And it seems so strange, but it all makes sense My back against the wall End-up behind the fence Situations always get so tense And I just want us to still be friends But we just argue, fuss and fight And we scream and yell and we curse all night And it seems that we're always so uptight Think that it's time that I book this flight To calm my mind But I feel so weak So much to say but I just can't speak Gotta be dumb, but I can; t even do it Came as a surprise, but we always knew it So I'm taking this trip, no plane no car Might be close and it might be far But lady soon, when you look up at the moon I'll be next to it shining like a star
[Chorus:] 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
