She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
Zero hour, nine A.M.
And I'm gonna be high -i-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 ti - i -imeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown 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, burnin' out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown 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, burnin' out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kinda 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 under stand
It's just my job five days a week
Rocket man -aaa -a -a- an rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown 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, burnin' out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown 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, burnin' 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
Repeat 6 more times and fade out
