She packed my bags last night, preflight, yeah she did

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

It gets so lonely out in space

On such a timeless flight as this, yeah

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

'Til touchdown brings me around again to find

I'm not the man I think I am at home, oh no no

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think its gonna be a long long time

Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids, no

In fact it's cold as hell, yes it is

And there's no one there to raise them if we did it

And all of this science well I don't understand, no

It's just my job five days a week now

I'm a rocket man

I'm a rocket man

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

'Til touchdown brings me around again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no no

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone, oh yeah

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

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

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

For the rocket man
