Rocket Man (Bonus Track)

(album: Mr. A-Z - 2005)

She packed my bags last night, preflight, yeah she did
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 gets so lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight as this, yeah

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me around again to find
I'm not the man I think I am at home, oh no no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think its gonna be a long long time

Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids, no
In fact it's cold as hell, yes it is
And there's no one there to raise them if we did it
And all of this science well I don't understand, no
It's just my job five days a week now
I'm a rocket man
I'm a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me around again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone, oh yeah
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Yes I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Yes I think it's gonna be long, long time
For the rocket man
