well she packed my bags 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 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 no

i'm a rocket man

rocket man, burning out his up here alone

yes i think it's gonna be a long, long time

yes i think it's gonna be a long, long time now

mraz ain't the kind a guy to raise your kids, no

in fact i'm cold as hell, yeah

and i'm never there to raise them if we did it

and all of this science 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 up here alone, oh yeah

and yes 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
