Challenge 260: Rocket Man lyrics
This week, we'll have a lyrics challenge. Our song to icon this week is Elton John's Rocket Man. You may make a text only or image-plus-text icon using any Trek image, but it MUST include at least 2 consecutive lyrics from Rocket Man.
The lyrics for Rocket Man are
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, nine A.M.
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
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown 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
Burnin' out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them
If you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job, five days a week
A rocket man
Rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown 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
Burnin' out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time…
