Was it me said you were crazy?
It's the biggest rocket I could find
And I strap the stick on my back
I put on my cloudiest suit
And I thought you were crazy, wishing such a thing
With no one there to catch it
But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen
And now shooting into the night
With my tail on fire, on fire
I put on my pointed hat and my black and silver suit
I saw only a stick on fire, alone on it's journey
But I'm sure it must be laughing"
Size 5 lightning boots, too
And it's holding the night in it's arms
'Cause I am a rocket on fire
Nobody seems to see me
And still as a rocket, I land in the river
Then with the fuse in my hand
And I, I check my gunpowder pack
If only for a moment, I can't see the look in it's eyes
And dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge
Look at me go with my tail on fire
Home to the quickening ground
