She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour, 9:00 A.M
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 no, no, no

I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his 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, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his 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 didn't
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job, five days a week
A rocket man
A 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, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his 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, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his 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 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
