Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ah ah, ooh ooh
White lights, strange city, mad music all around
Midnight street magic, crazy people, crazy sound
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Jack Flash, rocket man, Sergeant Pepper and the band
Ziggy, Benny and the Jets
Take a rocket, we just gotta fly
(I can take you through the center of the dark)
We're gonna fly (on a collision course to crash into my heart)
I will be your, I will be your, I'll be your
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket baby, c'mon, I'll be your satellite of love
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Spotlight magnetic razor rhythm laser love
Guitar, drums, load up, stun
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Jet Black, Johnny be, Jean Genie, Killer Queen
Dizzy Lizzy, Major Tom
So c'mon, we just gotta fly
(I can take you through the center of the dark)
We're gonna fly (on a collision course to crash into my heart)
I will be your, I will be your, I'll be your
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket baby, c'mon, I'll be your satellite of love
Countdown commencing, fire one
Five, four, three, two, one, zero, we have liftoff
We just gotta fly
I can take you through the center of the dark
We're gonna fly, on a collision course to crash into my heart
I will be your, I will be your, I'll be your
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Guitar, drums, load up, we're gonna fly
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love, we're gonna fly
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love

Basically, I think that it could be about this guy, that is telling this new girl he's dating, that to experience love with him is wild and exciting. I actually almost picture it as a rockin' (and better) version of A Whole New World from Aladdin.
Jack Flash=Rolling Stones
Rocket Man, Benny and the Jets=Elton John
Sgt. Pepper=Beatles
Ziggy=David Bowie
Black=Black Sabbath?
Johnny B=Chuck Berry
Gene Jenie=KISS?
Killer Queen=Queen
Dizzy Lizzy=Thin Lizzy
Jean Jeanie, surely, David Bowie?
"Satellite of love" - Velvet Underground I think
The verses make several song/band references. I interpret the chorus to be a metaphor for their love of that music and how it inspired them.
rocket man = Elton John (Rocket Man)
Sergeant Pepper and the band = The Beatles (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Song/album)
Ziggy = David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust)
Benny and the Jets = Elton John (Bennie And The Jets)
satellite of love = Lou Reed (Satellite Of Love)
Jet = Wings (Jet) ?
Johnny B = Chuck Berry (Johnny B. Goode)
Gene Jenie, = David Bowie (Jean Genie)
Killer Queen = Queen (Killer Queen
Dizzy Lizzy = The Beatles (Dizzy Miss Lizzy)
Major Tom = David Bowie (Space Oddity)
Those are all the references I knew about. Still uncertain about Jet Black. And I like many others used to think Dizzy Lizzy was a reference to Thin Lizzy.
