The Layover

she packed my bags 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


chorus:
 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 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
 that’s just my job five days a week
 you don’t wanna be high, high like me!


chorus:
 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 no no i’m a rocket man
 rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone


i’m a rocket man, yeah, yeah!
 i’m a rocket man
 yeah, i’m a rocket man!
 i’m a rocket man!


houston, we’ve got some problems
 don’t know how you boy gonna solve ‘em
 their commence it just won’t link
 and it comes… down, i don’t know what to think!
 i’ve been in a blink, sort of like the big bang
 …do a big thing
 what small move, turn it into a big chase
 don’t face no trouble
 i only need rage, to this thing so strange
 but it all makes sense.
 my back behind the wall and behind the fears
 situations always get so tense
 and i just want us to still be friends
 but we just argue, fussing and fighting
 we scream, and yell, and we curse our night
 in the sense that we always ..tight
 think that is time that i book this flight
 took all my might, but i feel so weak
 so much to say, but i just can’t speak
 gotta be dumb, but it killed me to do it
 came as a prize, but you always knew it
 so i’m taking this trip, no play, no car,
 might be closer, or might be far
 but later than soon, would you … the moon
 i’ll be next to a shining like a star!


chorus:
 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 no no i’m a rocket man
 rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
