Lyrics[]
Jasper: I packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour, nine AM
And I'm gonna be high in the sky by then
Jasper and Helen: I miss the earth so much, I miss my life
It's lonely out in space
Jasper: On such a timeless flight
Oh, yeah!
Jasper, Helen, and Munch: And 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
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Jasper: Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as well
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
Jasper and Helen: And all this science I don't understand (Jasper: No, I don't!)
It's just my job five days a week
Jasper: A rocket man, a rocket man
Jasper, Helen, and Munch: And 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
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And 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
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
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
