Rocket Man

Mike Posner

[Mike Posner:]
 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

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
 And all this science I don't understand
 It'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 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

Eh, eh I'm a rocket man
 Yeah I'm a rocket man
 I'm a rocket man

[Bun B:]
 Huston we got some problems
 I don't know how your boy gonna solve them
 The command center just won't leak
 And it counts us down
 I don't know what to think
 Happening in a blink
 Sorta like the big Bang
 How did something so small
 Urn in to a big thing
 One small move turn in to a big chain
 Don't waste no trouble
 I'll make range
 And it seems so strange, but it all makes sense
 My back against the wall
 End-up behind the fence
 Situations always get so tense
 And I just want us to still be friends
 But we just argue, fuss and fight
 And we scream and yell and we curse all night
 And it seems that we're always so uptight
 Think that it's time that I book this flight
 To calm my mind
 But I feel so weak
 So much to say but I just can't speak
 Gotta be dumb, but I can; t even do it
 Came as a surprise, but we always knew it
 So I'm taking this trip, no plane no car
 Might be close and it might be far
 But lady soon, when you look up at the moon
 I'll be next to it shining like a star

[Chorus:]
 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
