Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids No. In fact it's cold as hell And there's no one there to raise them if we didn't And all of this science well i don't understand Now, It's just my job five days a week Nah, I'm a rocket man, I'm a rocket man 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 I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time Yes I think it's gonna be a long long time... For the rocket man
