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
It's lonely out in space
on such a timeless flight
And I think it's 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 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
A rocket man
And I think it's 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
And I think it's 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
And I think it's gonna
be a long long time
And I think it's gonna
be a long long time
And I think it's gonna
be a long long time
long long time
long long time
Oh no no
Oh no no no
no no no no
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
No no
Oh no no no
A long long time
A long long time
