Boy Sets Fire

Rocket Man

Boy Sets Fire


She packed by bag last night, preflight 
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 
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
Ah, no no no... 
I'm a rocket man 
Rocket man 
Burnin' 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 
Rocket Man 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
Ah, no no no... 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
Ah, no no no... 
I'm a rocket man 
Rocket man 
Burnin' out his fuse 
Up here alone 

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 

Long, long, time 
Long, long, time 

Ah, no, no, no... 
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
