Lyrics
(cheering
Oh it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse up here alone
Oh no, no, no! I'm a rocket man
I'm not the man they think I am at home
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
A rocket man! A rocket man!
It's just my job five days a week
And all this science I don't understand
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
In fact, it's cold as hell
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
On such a timeless flight
It's lonely out in space
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Zero hour 9:00 AM
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Oh it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse up here alone
Oh no, no, no! I'm a rocket man
I'm not the man they think I am at home
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
A rocket man! A rocket man!
It's just my job five days a week
And all this science I don't understand
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
In fact, it's cold as hell
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
On such a timeless flight
It's lonely out in space
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Zero hour 9:00 AM
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
