Rocket Man

I'm a rocket man, I'm a rocket man
It's just my job, five days a week
Rocket man, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
And all this science I don't understand
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
A rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Burning out his fuse up here alone
Till touchdown brings me round again to find
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
It's lonely out in space

I'm not the man they think I am at home

On such a timeless flight
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Burning out his fuse up here alone

Till touchdown brings me round again to find
In fact, it's cold as hell
