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
  A rocket man, a rocket man
    And I think it's gonna be a long long time...
