It's just my job five days a week, a rocket man, a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone Oh no no no, I'm a rocket man Till touch down brings me round again to find And I think it's gonna be a long long time Zero hour nine a.m. And there's no one there to raise them if you did She packed my bags last night pre-flight Songwriters: Elton John, Bernie Taupin And all this science I don't understand Publisher: DICK JAMES MUSIC LIMITED Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone I'm not the man they think I am at home I'm not the man they think I am at home Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids Oh no no no, I'm a rocket man And I think it's gonna be a long long time It's lonely out in space on such a timeless flight I miss the earth so much I miss my wife And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then In fact it's cold as hell Till touch down brings me round again to find
It is just classic EJ and I love his music. Just listen to the lyrics we can all find a rocket man in all of us!

I'm a rocket man shooting into the heavens of my own enjoyment, so I understand this song real well.

It's about being on the road all the time and away from your family. It has nothing to do with drugs or sci-fi. Gawd you guys are dumb. EJ didn't write the lyrics to most of his songs by the way, just the music.

One of the weirdest songs I've ever heard. Sci Fi in mainstream music always weirds me out.
|
||
It seems to be loosely based on the short story "The Rocket Man" in Ray Bradbury's /The Illustrated Man/. Because of the science fiction themes it also is superficiall y similar to David Bowie's 1969 "Space Oddity".

EJ's wrong! We raised all three of our kids on Mars and they had a pretty good childhood if you ask me. (it wasn't all that cold)
