Kate Bush - Rocket's Tail (For Rocket) lyrics

Your rating:

That November night, looking up into the sky, 
You said, 

"Hey, wish that was me up there-- 
It`s the biggest rocket I could find, 
And it`s holding the night in its arms 
If only for a moment. 
I can`t see the look in its eyes, 
But I`m sure it must be laughing." 

But it seemed to me the saddest thing I`d ever seen, 
And I thought you were crazy, wishing such a thing. 

I saw only a stick on fire, 
Alone on its journey 
Home to the quickening ground, 
With no one there to catch it. 

I put on my pointed hat 
And my black and silver suit, 
And I check my gunpowder pack 
And I strap the stick on my back. 
And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge-- 
Nobody seems to see me. 
Then, with the fuse in my hand, 
And now shooting into the night 
And still as a rocket, 
I land in the river. 

Was it me said you were crazy? 
I put on my cloudiest suit, 
Size 5 lightning boots, too. 

`Cause I am a rocket 
On fire. 
Look at me go, with my tail on fire, 
With my tail on fire, 
On fire. 
Hey, look at me go, look at me...
