Lyrics Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond

Rocket Man

She packed my bags last night, preflight

Was zero hour, nine a.m.

And I'm gonna be high

High as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much

I miss my lady

It's lonely out in space

On such a time, time

Such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

Till touchdown brings me round again

To find I'm not the man

They think I am at home

Oh no, oh no, oh no

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man...

Mars ain't the kind of place

You want to raise your kids

In fact, it's cold as hell

And there's no one there

That can raise them, if you did

And all the science I don't understand

It's just my job five days a week

I'm a rocket man

Oh, oh yeah

Just a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

Till touchdown brings me around

To find I'm not the man

They think I am at home

Oh no, oh no, oh no

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man...

Rocket man...
