Rocket Man

Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album honky chteau She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour nine a.m. And Im gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the earth so much I miss my wife Its lonely out in space On such a timeless flight And I think its gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find Im not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no Im a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone Mars aint the kind of place to raise your kids In fact its cold as hell And theres no one there to raise them if you did And all this science I dont understand Its just my job five days a week A rocket man, a rocket man And I think its gonna be a long long time...
