She packed my pags 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
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
(twice)

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kid
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there
To raise them if you did

And all this silence I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man

(repeat chorus)

I think it's gonna be a long, long time (6 times)

Yeay, yeay, yeay

DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It's too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your little life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself it's someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find all the right romantic lines
But see me once and see the way I feel
And don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

(repeat chorus twice)
