Rocket Man

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
