Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Oh, no, no
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 and if you did
Oh, if you did, oh
And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
Oh, no, no
[Verse 4]
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, oh
[Verse 5]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
No, no, no, no, no
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
No
And I think it's gonna be a
Oh, it's gonna be a long, long time
