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 
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 
Till 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 
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 
Rocket man, I'm a rocket man 
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 
Till 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 
A rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone 
Burning out his fuse up here alone 
Burning out his fuse up here alone 
I'm a rocket man, I'm a rocket man 
I'm a rocket man
