Rocket's Tail Lyrics - Kate Bush

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...
