Rocket Man Lyrics - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

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 

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 

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 

A 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 

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 

A rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 

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 

A 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 

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
