She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour: 9: 00 a. m
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then, oh

Whoa
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife, yeah
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight, oh yeah

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone

And all the science
I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
Whoa, a rocket man
A rocket man
Hey, hey, hey

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til 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
Hey, rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone, oh (Oh)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
I think, I think, I think
(Hey) I think it's gonna be a long, long time
(Oh, it's gonna be, yeah, yeah)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Whoa, oh

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