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 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 Rocket man burning 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, a rocket man And I think it's gonna be a long long time... |

In the quiet silent seconds
I turned off the light switch And I came down to meet you In the half light the moon left While a cluster of night jars Sang some songs out of tune A mantle of bright light s Shone down from a room Come down in time I still hear her say So clear in my ear like it was today Come down in time was the message she gave Come down in time and I'll meet you half way Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet But a true love like hers is a hard love to get And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all Come down in time I still hear her say So clear in my ear like it was today Come down in time was the message she gave Come down in time and I'll meet you half way There are women and women and some hold you tight While some leave you counting the stars in the night |

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care What do I do when lightning strikes me And I wake to find that you're not there What do I do to make you want me What have I got to do to be heard What do I say when it's all over And sorry seems to be the hardest word It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word What do I do to make you love me What have I got to do to be heard What do I do when lightning strikes me What have I got to do What have I got to do When sorry seems to be the hardest word |

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus 'Cause he likes the name And he sends him to the finest school in town Levon, Levon likes his money He makes a lot they say Spends his days counting In the garage by the motorway He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day When the New York Times said God is dead And the war's begun Alvin Tostig has a son today And he shall be Levon And he shall be a good man And he shall be Levon In tradition with the family plan And he shall be Levon And he shall be a good man And he shall be Levon Levon sells cartoon balloons in town His family business thrives Jesus blows up balloons all day Sits on the porch swing watching them fly And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus leaving Levon far behind Take a balloon and go sailing While Levon, Levon slowly dies He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day When the New York Times said God is dead And the war's begun Alvin Tostig has a son today |

I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye Times are changing, now the poor get fat But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back Eat meat on Friday, that's alright Even like steak on a Saturday night I can bitch the best at your social do's I get high from the speaking 'bout the things I do I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch and I'm back Stone cold sober as a matter of fact I can bitch, I can bitch 'cause I'm better than you It's the way that I move, the things that I do I entertain by picking brains Sell my soul by dropping names I don't like those, my God, what's that? Oh, it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch and I'm back Stone cold sober as a matter of fact I can bitch, I can bitch, I'm better than you It's the way that I move, the things that I do |

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life It's much too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me I can't find Oh, the right romantic line But see me once and see the way feel Don't discard me baby don't Just because you think I mean you harm Just because you think I mean you harm, oh But these cuts I have, cuts I have They need love They need love, they need love to help them heal Oh, don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free Cause' losing everything is like the sun going down on me Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I that see, yeah I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh Cause' losing everything is like the sun going down on me |

I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word I'm a madman don't you know Once a fool had a good part in the play If it's so would I still be here today It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way They think it's very funny everything I say Get a load of him, he's so insane You better get your coat dear It looks like rain We'll come again next Thursday afternoon The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon But is it in your conscience that you're after Another glimpse of the madman across the water I can see very well There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word I'm a madman don't you know The ground's a long way down but I need more Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted Will they come again next week Can my mind really take it |

You tell me there's an angel in your tree
Did he say he'd come to call on me For things are getting desperate in our home Living in the parish of the restless folks I know Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps It's time we put the flame torch to their keep Burn down the mission If we're gonna stay alive Watch the black smoke fly to heaven See the red flame light the sky Burn down the mission Burn it down to stay alive It's our only chance of living Take all you need to live inside Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today My wife cried when they came to take me away But what more could I do just to keep her warm Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls |

I just want to go to sleep turn out the light but you want to carry grudges oh, nine times out of ten oh, I see the storm approaching long before the rain starts falling tonight does it have to be the old thing tonight? oh, it's late, too late to chase the rainbow that you're after I'd like to find a compromise oh, and place it in your hands my eyes are blind, my ears can't hear oh, and I cannot find the time tonight just let the curtains close in silence tonight why not approach with less defiance the man who'd love to see you smile who'd love to see you smile tonight tonight just let the curtains close in silence tonight why not approach with less defiance the man who'd love to see your smile the man who'd love to see your smile the man who'd love to see your smile tonight |
