Album: Have A Ball

Rocket Man

She packed my pags 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

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
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

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
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 kid
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there
To raise them if you did

And all this silence I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
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

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
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

I think it's gonna be a long, long time
I think it's gonna be a long, long time
I think it's gonna be a long, long time
I think it's gonna be a long, long time
I think it's gonna be a long, long time
I think it's gonna be a long, long time

Yeah, yeah, yeah
