Mike Posner - Rocket Man lyrics

rate me

(Ft. Bun B)

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
