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

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

And all this science I don't understand

It's just my job five days a week

You don't wanna be high

High like me

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

Eh, eh I'm a rocket man

Yeah I'm a rocket man

I'm a rocket man

Huston we got some problems

I don't know how your boy gonna solve them

The command center just won't leak

And it counts us down

I don't know what to think

Happening in a blink

Sorta like the big Bang

How did something so small

Urn in to a big thing

One small move turn in to a big chain

Don't waste no trouble

I'll make range

And it seems so strange, but it all makes sense

My back against the wall

End-up behind the fence

Situations always get so tense

And I just want us to still be friends

But we just argue, fuss and fight

And we scream and yell and we curse all night

And it seems that we're always so uptight

Think that it's time that I book this flight

To calm my mind

But I feel so weak

So much to say but I just can't speak

Gotta be dumb, but I can; t even do it

Came as a surprise, but we always knew it

So I'm taking this trip, no plane no car

Might be close and it might be far

But lady soon, when you look up at the moon

I'll be next to it shining like a star

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
