Lyrics Mike Posner – Rocket Man
Text:
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
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
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
