Rocket man lyrics
by Kate Bush



She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
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 the 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
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no

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

I think it's gonna be a long, long time
I think it's gonna be a long, long time
I think it's gonna be a long, long time

Oh no, no, no (No, no)
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no (No, no)
(No, no)

Oho, oho
Oho
Oho, oho
Oh, oho

Oh, oho
No, no

Oh no, no, no
I think it's gonna be a long, long time
