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
Till 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
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...
