rocket man i think it s going to be a long long time

David Fonseca

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 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 mt job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man and I think it s gonna be a long long time
