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

til touchdown 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 Burnin' out his fuse up here alone

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

til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Ah no no no I'm a rocket man

Rocket man Burnin' 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

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

til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Ah no no no I'm a rocket man

Rocket man

Burnin' out his fuse up here alone

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

til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Ah no no no I'm a rocket man

Rocket man

Burnin' out his fuse up here alone

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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