Rocket Boy Lyrics - Liz Phair

Rocket boy, rocket boy, rocket boy 

Didn't see, I had no idea, I never heard it before 

And I said, "What good are you? 

Yeah, well, Why don't I? Is the question of the year" 

You used to be my favorite toy 

But what happened to my rocket boy? 

Rocket boy, where are you gonna land? 

I said, "Go, don't stop it, go, don't stop it, how we all understand" 

You used to be my pride and joy 

Now you're just my rocket, rocket boy 

They don't know, my friends 

We got off again 

How 'm I gonna get myself to sleep? 

I've got stains on my sheets and my nails are torn down to the bone 

Wouldn't it be nice to have an ordinary girlfriend? 

Laughing 'bout it makes it real 

It makes it happen to me 

Well, I can reach you 

Didn't see, I had no idea, I never heard it before 

"Well," I said, "what good are you? 

Why don't I, no sense of fear?" 

You used to be my favorite toy 

But now you're just my little rocket boy 

(Rocket boy) 

My rocket boy 

(My rocket boy) 

Rocket boy, when are you gonna land? 

(Rocket boy, yeah) 

I said, "Go, don't stop it, go, don't stop it, now may all understand" 

(Rocket boy, yeah) 

I said, "Rocket boy, when are you gonna land?" 

(Rocket boy) 

I said, "Rocket boy, they just don't understand" 

(Die is cast and the dice are rollin') 

(I'm feelin' like shit 'cause she's feelin' like gold) 

You used to be my pride and joy, my boy 

You had me
