Rocket Man (I THink It's Going To Be A Long Long Time) — Elton John

Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album honky ch?teau

She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour nine 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

And i think it's gonna be a long long time Till touch down 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 burning out his fuse up here alone

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 this science i don't understand It's just my job five days a week A rocket man, a rocket man

And i think it's gonna be a long long time...
