She packed my bags last night, pre-flight Zero hour nine a.m. And Im gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife Its lonely out in space, on such a timeless flight
And I think, its gonna be a long, long time Till touch down brings me 'round again to find Im not the man they think I am at home Oh, Im a rocket man Rocket man, I'm burning out of fuse up here alone
And I think, its gonna be a long, long time Till touch down brings me 'round again to find Im not the man they think I am at home Oh, Im a rocket man Rocket man, I'm burning out of fuse up here alone
Mars aint the kind of place to raise your kids In fact its cold as hell And theres no one there to raise them if you did And all this science, I dont understand Its just my job five days a week, a rocket man, oh rocket man
And I think, its gonna be a long, long time Till touch down brings me 'round again to find Im not the man they think I am at home Oh no, Im a rocket man Rocket man, I'm burning out of fuse up here alone
And I think, its gonna be a long, long time Till touch down brings me 'round again to find Im not the man they think I am at home Oh no, Im a rocket man Rocket man, I'm burning out of fuse up here alone
And I think, its gonna be a long, long time Its gonna be a long, long time I think, its gonna be a long, long time Its gonna be a long, long time, oh
Long, long time, gonna be a long, long time Its gonna be a long, long time Gonna be a long, long time Oh, I think, its gonna be a long, long time, oh yeah
