Like A Rocket Man Lyrics
Little Wendy Cocaine stumbles up the hill to pain
Nothing stops the go-to girl
Nothing takes the place of taking aim
Little Wendy's out there shaking hips & cuckoo eyes
Crazy drives that dizzy crowd
Moonlight strokes the highlights in her hair
She sells & moves & finds my hand
& pulls me down & close
So I can hardly stand
As I lay like dead for her
I'm fed into my head I'm led
Oh, I am Sam
I'm crawling from the window, crawling down the wall
I'm happy, screaming, yes I am
I'm jumping on her daisy chain
I'm speeding through the dancehall like a rocket man
Now I wish today that yesterday was just tomorrow
& I could squeeze her grubby hand
Knowing that I never paid her for a gram
She's a drunken doxy off her trolly
Sent before her time into this poxy world
She's not fit for anything but dealing it
While heaven sings, I have this girl
She's got me eating rice & beans
I have no shape nor color
I'm God's lonely man
I don't want to die but I don't want to live
I'm speeding like a rocket man
Like a rocket man
Like a rocket man
Like a rocket man
Nothing stops the go-to girl
Nothing takes the place of taking aim
Crazy drives that dizzy crowd
Moonlight strokes the highlights in her hair
& pulls me down & close
So I can hardly stand
I'm fed into my head I'm led
Oh, I am Sam
I'm happy, screaming, yes I am
I'm speeding through the dancehall like a rocket man
& I could squeeze her grubby hand
Knowing that I never paid her for a gram
Sent before her time into this poxy world
While heaven sings, I have this girl
I have no shape nor color
I'm God's lonely man
I'm speeding like a rocket man
Like a rocket man
Like a rocket man
