Rocket Man (Live at Madison Square Garden 10/21/2000)

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight

Zero hour, 9AM

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

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, I'm a rocket man

Rocket man, I'm burnin' out a fuse up here alone

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, I'm a rocket man

Rocket man, I'm burnin' out a 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

It's just my job, five days a week

A rocket man, oh,  rocket man

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, I'm a rocket man

Rocket man, I'm burnin' out a fuse up here alone

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, I am a rocket man

Rocket man, I'm burnin' out a fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

(And I think it's gonna be a long, long time) It's gonna be a long, long time

I think it's gonna be a long, long time

It's gonna be a long, long time

Oh

Long, long time

Gonna be a long, long time

It's gonna be a long, long time

Gonna be a long, long time

Oh, I think it's gonna be a long, long time
