She packed my bags last night, preflight
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 life
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 there 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, 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, oh, no no no
I`m a rocket man
Rocket man, burnin` out his fuse up there alone
(Repeat)
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
