she packed my bags last night we flied

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

oh

and 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

rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

a rocket man and i think it's gonna be a long long time

the touch down brings me round again

to find i'm not the man they think i am at home

oh i'm a rocket man

and i think it's gonna be a long long time
