She packed my bags last night, pre-flightZero hour, 9 a.m.And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wifeIt's lonely out in SpaceOn such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to findI'm not the man they think I am at homeOh, no, no, no, I'm a rocket manRocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to findI'm not the man they think I am at homeOh, no, no, no, I'm a rocket manRocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kidsIn fact, it's cold as hellAnd there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science, I don't understandIt's just my job, five days a weekA rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to findI'm not the man they think I am at homeOh, no, no, no, I'm a rocket manRocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to findI'm not the man they think I am at homeOh, no, no, no, I'm a rocket manRocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long timeAnd I think it's gonna be a long, long timeAnd I think it's gonna be a long, long timeAnd I think it's gonna be a long, long timeAnd I think it's gonna be a long, long timeAnd I think it's gonna be a long, long timeAnd I think it's gonna be a long, long timeAnd I think it's gonna be a long, long time
