She packed my bags last night pre-flight,
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
Till touch down 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 [bad word] 
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, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Till touch down 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...
