pearls before swine - rocket man lyrics
my father was a rocket man
he often went to jupiter or mercury, to venus or to mars
my mother and i would watch the sky
and wonder if a falling star
was a ship becoming ashes with a rocket man inside
my mother and i
never went out
unless the sky was cloudy or the sun was blotted out
or to escape the pain
we only went out when it rained
my father was a rocket man
he loved the world beyond the world, the sky beyond the sky
and on my mother’s face, as lonely as the world in sp-ce
i could read the silent cry
that if my father fell into a star
we must not look upon that star again
my mother and i
never went out
unless the sky was cloudy or the sun was blotted out
or to escape the pain
we only went out when it rained
tears are often jewel-like
my mother’s went unnoticed by my father, for his jewels were the stars
and in my father’s eyes i knew he had to find
in the sanct-ty of distance something brighter than a star
one day they told us the sun had flared and taken him inside
my mother and i
never went out
unless the sky was cloudy or the sun was blotted out
or to escape the pain
we only went out when it rained
