Rocket’s Tail (2018 Remaster)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] That November night, looking up into the sky You said, "Hey, wish that was me up there It's the biggest rocket I could find And it's holding the night in its arms If only for a moment I can't see the look in its eyes But I'm sure it must be laughing" [Verse 2] But it seemed to me The saddest thing I'd ever seen And I, I thought you were crazy Wishing such a thing I saw only a stick on fire Alone on its journey Home to the quickening ground With no one there to catch it [Verse 3] I put on my pointed hat And my black and silver suit And I, I check my gunpowder pack And I strap the stick on my back And dressed as a rocket on Watеrloo Bridge Nobody seems to see me Then with thе fuse in my hand And now shooting into the night [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] And still as a rocket, I land in the river Was it me said you were crazy? [Instrumental Break] [Outro] I put on my cloudiest suit Size five lightning boots too 'Cause I am a rocket On fire Look at me go with my tail on fire With my tail on fire On fire Hey, look at me go, look at me
