And now I know, Spanish all the money not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew, but now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Oh, until you've seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you

While Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatter's, sons of bakers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky, but they can and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light

Oh, she packed my bags last night, free flight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
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
Oh, it's such a timeless flight
A timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

A rocket man, burning out as soon as I've held on

Rocket man
Oh, rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
No touchdown brings me right against the sun
I'm not the man they think I am, I'm
Oh, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out as soon as I've held on
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
No touchdown brings me right against the sun
I'm not the man they think I am, I'm
Oh, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out as soon as I've held on
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Oh, and I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Yeah, I think it's gonna be a long, long time
A long, long time
Yes, I think it's gonna be a long, long time
A long, long time
Oh
Long, long time
Yeah, I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Long, long time
No blizzards in Manhattan
No blizzards in Manhattan
Some's a baker, some's a lawyer
Some's a banker, some's a lawyer
Turn around and say good morning to the night
No blizzards in Manhattan
No blizzards in Manhattan
Some's a baker, some's a lawyer
