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
