Gus Dudgeon - Rocket Man lyrics

[Verse 1] She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour 9 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 [Hook] (x2) 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! Burning out his fuse up here alone [Verse 2] 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 5 days a week Rocket man! Rocket man! [Hook] And I think it's gonna be a long, long time (until fadeout)
