Rocket Man Lyrics

she packed my bags 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

chorus:
i think it's gonna be a long, long time
till 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 burning 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
that's just my job five days a week
you don't wanna be high, high like me!

chorus:
i think it's gonna be a long, long time
till 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 burning out his fuse up here alone

i'm a rocket man, yeah, yeah!
i'm a rocket man
yeah, i'm a rocket man!
i'm a rocket man!

houston, we've got some problems
don't know how you boy gonna solve 'em
their commence it just won't link and it comes... down, i don't know what to think!
i've been in a blink, sort of like the big bang
do a big thing
what small move, turn it into a big chase
don't face no trouble
i only need rage, to this thing so strange
but it all makes sense.
my back behind the wall and behind the fears
situations always get so tense
and i just want us to still be friends
but we just argue, fussing and fighting
we scream, and yell, and we curse our night
in the sense that we always ..tight
think that is time that i book this flight
took all my might, but i feel so weak
so much to say, but i just can't speak
gotta be dumb, but it killed me to do it
came as a prize, but you always knew it
so i'm taking this trip, no play, no car,
might be closer, or might be far
but later than soon, would you the moon
i'll be next to a shining like a star!

chorus:
i think it's gonna be a long, long time
till 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 burning out his fuse up here alone
