1. She packed my bags last night, pre - flight, zero hour, nine A - M

2. Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell

And I'm gonnna be hi - i - i - i - gh as a kite by then

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife... it's lonely out in space

And all the science, I don't understand... it's just my job five days a week

On such ti - i - i - i - i - meless flight

Rocket ma - a - a - a a - - n rocket man

CHORUS: And I think it's gonna be a long long time

Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find, I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm a rocket man, rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone

END REPEAT TO FADE: And I think it's gonna be a long long time
