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."
But it seemed to me the saddest thing I`d ever seen, And 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. I put on my pointed hat And my black and silver suit, And I check my gunpowder pack And I strap the stick on my back. And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge-- Nobody seems to see me. Then, with the fuse in my hand, And now shooting into the night And still as a rocket, I land in the river.
Was it me said you were crazy? I put on my cloudiest suit, Size 5 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...
