Rocket Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She packed my bag 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, 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
A 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, 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
Ah, 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 (3x)
It's gonna take a long time
