Does anyone know the lyrics to "Rocket Man?"

Time to go. I'm heading out of my office and on to O'Hare in minutes. Hopefully I'll have an internet connection, at least breifly, in Christchurch. Thanks for all of the well-wishes and phone calls. In any case, I'm running a bit low on sleep, so I'm sort of at a loss. I don't think it's really hit me yet just what it is that I'm doing. I'll see you all soon.

Well I think it's going to be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man I think I am at all
Oh no, no, no
I'm a Rocket Man

More Rocket Man lyrics to follow......

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...

There you go sweetheart. That's all of them.

Hope your travels so far have been interesting but uneventful, and that you have arrived safely to your first destination. Please be safe, you are missed already.

The Rocketman song covered by Shatner is just painful.

Jon Warnock said...

But, but, but... Shatner is... Yeah. yeah, it sucks. However, Me First and the Gimme Gimme's did it some justice.
