Stealing Beauty movie - Rocket Boy lyrics

rate me

Song by Liz Phair<br /><br>

Didn't see -- I had no idea, never heard it before<br>

And I said what good are you<br>

Yeah well "Why don't I?" is the question of the year<br>

(Why, why don't I.)<br>

You used to be my favorite toy...<br>

but what happened to my rocket boy?<br>

<br>

Rocket boy -- when are you gonna land?<br>

I said go, don't stop it, go, don't stop it<br>

How we all understand<br>

You used to be my pride and joy<br>

Now you're just my rocket, rocket boy<br>

<br>

They don't know my friends -- we got off again<br>

How'm I supposed to get myself to sleep?<br>

I got stains on my sheets and my nails are torn down to the bone<br>

Wouldn't it be nice to have an ordinary girlfriend?<br>

Laughing 'bout makes it real, makes it happen to me -- well I can reach you<br>

<br>

Didn't see -- I had no idea, never heard it before<br>

Well I said what good are you -- why don't I -- no sense of fear<br>

(Yeah, I don't I.)<br>

You used to be my favorite toy -- but what happened, my rocket...?<br>

(Now you're just my little rocket boy.)<br>

(Rocket boy.)<br>

My rocket boy<br>

(My rocket boy.)<br>

<br>

Rocket boy -- when are you gonna land?<br>

(Rocket boy yeah.)<br>

I said go, don't stop it, go, don't stop it, now may all understand<br>

(Rocket boy yeah.)<br>

I said rocket boy -- when are you gonna land?<br>

(Rocket boy.)<br>

I said rocket boy -- they just don't understand<br>

(Die is cast and the dice are rollin' I'm feelin' like shit 'cause she's<br>

feelin' like gold.)<br>

(Rocket boy.)<br>

You used to be my pride and joy, my boy<br>

You had me...<br>

<br>
