Read Rocket Man Lyrics – Elton John online

[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

[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


I’m a rocket man


Rocket man burnin’ out his fuse up here alone


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


I’m a rocket man


Rocket man burnin’ 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 the science, I don’t understand


It’s just my job five days a week


A rocket man


A 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


I’m a rocket man


Rocket man burnin’ out his fuse up here alone


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


I’m a rocket man


Rocket man burnin’ out his fuse up here alone

[Outro]


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time


And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
