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
{soc}
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
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone
{eoc}
Mars ain't the kinda 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
Rocket man - - - rocket man
{soc}
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touchdown brings me 'round to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up [G]here alone[G7] {eoc}
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
Bttt
