Rocket Man

Elton John / Bernie Taupin

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight        
Zero hour, 9 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

Chorus:

  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
  Oh, no, no, no
  I'm a rocket man
  Rocket man burnin' out his fuse up here alone 

Chorus.

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 the science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rock-  et   ma-    a-    an    
A rocket man

Chorus.

Chorus.

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