She packed my bags last night, preflight
Zero hour, nine am
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then

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
Oh no no no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning up the fuel up here alone

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
Oh no no no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning 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
