Rocket Man

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 miss the earth so much I miss my wife
Its lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think its 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 its cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
Its just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

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