Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long, Long Lyrics


She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And Im gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Its lonely out in space, on such a timeless flightAnd I think, its gonna be a long, long time
Till touch down brings me 'round again to find
Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh, Im a rocket man
Rocket man, I'm burning out of fuse up here aloneAnd I think, its gonna be a long, long time
Till touch down brings me 'round again to find
Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh, Im a rocket man
Rocket man, I'm burning out of fuse up here aloneMars aint the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact its cold as hell
And theres no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science, I dont understand
Its just my job five days a week, a rocket man, oh rocket manAnd I think, its gonna be a long, long time
Till touch down brings me 'round again to find

Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, Im a rocket man
Rocket man, I'm burning out of fuse up here aloneAnd I think, its gonna be a long, long time
Till touch down brings me 'round again to find
Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, Im a rocket man
Rocket man, I'm burning out of fuse up here aloneAnd I think, its gonna be a long, long time
Its gonna be a long, long time
I think, its gonna be a long, long time
Its gonna be a long, long time, ohLong, long time, gonna be a long, long time
Its gonna be a long, long time
Gonna be a long, long time
Oh, I think, its gonna be a long, long time, oh yeah

Sir Elton Hercules John, CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Pinner, Middlesex, England on 25 March 1947) is an immensely popular English singer, composer (mostly with lyricist Bernie Taupin) and pianist. In a career spanning five decades, Elton John has sold over 250 million records and has over fifty Top 40 hits, making him one of the most successful musicians of all time. His 1997 tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, "Candle In The Wind 1997," remains the world's biggest selling and fastest selling single of all time.

In 1964, Dwight and his friends formed a band called Bluesology. By day, he ran errands for a music publishing company; he divided his nights between solo gigs at a London hotel bar and working with Bluesology. By the mid-1960s, Bluesology was backing touring American soul and R&B musicians like The Isley Brothers, Major Lance, Billy Stewart, Doris Troy and Patti LaBelle and The Bluebelles. In 1966, the band became musician Long John Baldry's supporting band and played 16 times at The Marquee Club.

John was one of the dominant commercial forces in the rock world during the 1970s, with a string of seven consecutive #1 records on the U.S. album charts, twenty-three Top 40 singles, sixty Top 10 hits, and six #1 hits. His success had a profound impact on popular music, and contributed to the continued popularity of the piano in rock and roll.

Key musical elements in John's success included his melodic gifts matched with the contributions of his lyricist partner Bernie Taupin, his rich tenor and gospel-chorded piano, aggressive string arrangements, his flamboyant fashion sense and on-stage showmanship. As told by himself, his somewhat "flashy" outfits were due to the fact that he sits behind the piano and would otherwise vanish on stage.

John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and knighted in 1998. He has helped lead the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked John #49 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. He continues to be a major public figure.
