She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And Iīm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
Itīs lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think itīs gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
Iīm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no Iīm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ainīt the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact itīs cold as hell
And thereīs no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I donīt understand
Itīs just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think itīs gonna be a long long time...
