Rocket Man

I heard the altar call of the rocket man

As he pleaded on the mount

Then were we like those who dreamed

And the tired tiger jumped through hoops of fire

One last time for the crowd

Then were we like those who dream

I saw containerships of man's demise

Ride tidal waves to hell

Then were we like those who dreamed

And the whales that did pass by

They did not blink or wish us well

Then were we like those who dream

All the stones that broke the bones

Can't maim the soul within you

Time's just a thing you live through, baby

All the things that make me sing

Are just songs I'm relearning

There's nothing here I'm earning

Ah-ah

And on the eighth day man made a machine

Likened to his image

Then were we like those who dreamed

And he argued whether or whether not

It would kill and eat his village

Then were we like those who dream

All the stones that broke the bones

Can't maim the soul within you

Time's just a thing you live through, baby

All the things that make me sing

Are just songs I'm relearning

There's nothing here I'm earning

Ah-ah

I saw the ministers of relevant humanity trade cards

Then were we like those who dreamed

And I looked into that valley and I knew it would be hard

Then were we like those who dream

All the stones that broke the bones

Won't maim the soul within you

Time's just a thing you live through, baby

All the things that make me sing

Are just songs I'm relearning

There's nothing here I'm earning

Ah-ah-ah
