Rocket Man (live At The Palias, Newcastle) Lyrics - Screaming Jets

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 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
