She packed my 
bags 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 

' Till 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 
' Till 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 

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