Letra de
Rocket Man

A música Rocket Man de Elton John foi inspirada pela música Rocket Man de David Bowie e a história curta The Rocket Man escrita por Ray Bradbury. A letra, escrita por Bernie Taupin, aborda os sentimentos de isolamento e solidão de um astronauta no espaço, refletindo sobre a distância emocional entre ele e sua família na Terra. Lançada em 1972, a canção tornou-se um dos maiores sucessos de Elton John, amplamente interpretada como uma metáfora para ... os desafios enfrentados na vida cotidiana. Ver mais [+]

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
