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's lonely out in space 

On such a timeless flight 



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 

Ah, no no no... 

I'm a rocket man 

Rocket man 



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 

Ah, no no no... 

I'm a rocket man 

Rocket man 

Burnin' out his fuse 

Up here alone 



Mars ain't the kind of place 

To raise your kids 

In fact, it's cold as hell 

And there's no one there to raise them 

If you did 



And all this science 

I don't understand 

It's just my job 

Five days a week 

A Rocket Man 

Rocket Man 



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 

Ah, no no no... 

I'm a rocket man 

Rocket man 



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 

Ah, no no no... 

I'm a rocket man 

Rocket man 

Burnin' 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 

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time 



Long, long, time 

Long, long, time 



Ah, no, no, no... 

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
