Rocket Man    Elton John 1972

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine A.M.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then

I missed the earth so much I missed my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight as this

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown brings me around to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no

I’m a Rocket Man 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

Mars ain’t the kinda place to raise your kids
In fact, it’s cold as hell
When there’s no one there to raise them, if you did

And all the science, I don’t understand
It’s just my job 5 days a week
Rocket Man…rocket man

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown brings me around to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no

I’m a Rocket Man 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
