I'm not the man they think I am at home
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Oh no no no, I'm a rocket man
Oh no no no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Till touch down brings me round again to find
In fact it's cold as hell
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
It's lonely out in space on such a timeless flight
I'm not the man they think I am at home
I'm not the man they think I am at home
It's just my job five days a week
Till touch down brings me round again to find
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
And all this science I don't understand
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Oh no no no, I'm a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
A rocket man, a rocket man
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
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
Oh no no no, I'm a rocket man
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Till touch down brings me round again to find
