[Verse] (bass)
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m. and I'm gonna be
h-h-i-i-i-gh as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space on such a
t-t-i-i-me-less flight

Chorus

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 am a rocket man
Rocket man burning out my fuse up here alone   
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 am a rocket man
Rocket man burning out my fuse up here alone   
[Verse] (bass)
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 m-A-A-o-o-m-A-A-n, A rocket man

Chorus

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 am a rocket man
Rocket man burning out my fuse up here alone   
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 am a rocket man
Rocket man burning out my 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
