Rocket Man [I Think It's Going To Be A Long, Long Time] lyrics

She packed my bags last night, preflight

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's lonely out in space

On such a timeless 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

Ah, oh no

Oh, I'm a rocket man

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

Ah, oh no

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man

Burnin' 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 did...

And all this science I don't understand

It's just my job, five days a week

A rocket man

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

Ah, oh no

Oh, I'm a rocket man

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

Ah, oh no

Oh, I'm a rocket man

Rocket man

Rocket man

Rocket man

Rocket man... (Burnin' out his fuse up here alone)

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

I think it's gonna be a long, long time (x4)
