Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, 9 AM
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then
[Verse 2]
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
[Chorus]
And 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
[Chorus]
And 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
[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
If you did
[Verse 4]
And all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man
[Chorus]
And 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
[Chorus]
And 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
[Outro]
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
