Burning out his fuse up there alone

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

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

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