Rocket Man Lyrics Elton John - Elton John

Rocket Man Lyrics Elton John – I Think It’s Going To Be A Long Long Time

She packed my bags last night, preflight
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
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin’ out his fuse
Up here alone

And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin’ 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
A rocket man
A rocket Man

And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no

I’m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin’ out his fuse
Up here alone

And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin’ out his fuse
Up here alone

And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
~And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
~And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
~And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
~And I think it’s gonna be a long, long, time
