KATE BUSH - Rocket's Tail lyrics

rate me

That november nightlooking up into the sky

You said

"heywish that was me up there--

It's the biggest rocket I could find

And it's holding the night in it's arms

If only for a moment.

I can't see the look in it's eyes

But I'm sure it must be laughing."

But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen

And I thought you were crazywishing such a thing.

I saw only a stick on fire

Alone on it's journey

Home to the quickening ground

With no one there to catch it.

I put on my pointed hat

And my black and silver suit

And I check my gunpowder pack

And I strap the stick on my back.

Anddressed as a rocket on waterloo bridge--

Nobody seems to see me.

Thenwith the fuse in my hand

And now shooting into the night

And still as a rocket

I land in the river.

Was it me said you were crazy?

I put on my cloudiest suit

Size 5 lightning bootstoo.

'cause I am a rocket

On fire.

Look at me gowith my tail on fire

With my tail on fire

On fire.

Heylook at me golook at me...
