A flashing comet lighting up the night Heading downtown invited Past city lights, a silver moon igniting memories Tonight I’m losing track of time and place I’m back in Space, when he* was coming down the stairs
Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong* and I’m doing what seems impossible Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible Just like 40 years ago Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear Tonight I’m being at the edge of human frontier
He brought his Eagle** to a touchdown phase with 30 seconds left to crash and fade The guys at Houston*** got their breath in pace Around the world folks heard him tell his words of destiny, whilst stepping into history.
Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong and I’m doing what seems impossible Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible Just like 40 years ago Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear Tonight I’m being at the edge of human frontier
Oh-woah-oh oh-woah-oh-ohh Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ohh-ohh
I wanna find what Mankind is unaware of outside Mars I wanna go to those undiscovered corners of the stars
Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong and I’m doing what seems impossible Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible Just like 40 years ago Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear Tonight I’m being at the edge of human frontier
