Rocket boy

Rocket boy, rocket boy, rocket boy...

Didnt see, I had no idea, I never heard it before
And I said, what good are you?
Yeah, well, why dont i? is the question of the year.
You used to be my favorite toy
But what happened to my rocket boy?

Rocket boy, where are you gonna land?
I said, go, dont stop it, go, dont stop it, how we all understand.
You used to be my pride and joy
Now youre just my rocket, rocket boy

They dont know, my friends
We got off again
Howm I gonna get myself to sleep?
Ive got stains on my sheets and my nails are torn down to the bone

Wouldnt it be nice to have an ordinary girlfriend?
Laughing bout it makes it real
It makes it happen to me
Well, I can reach you

Didnt see, I had no idea, I never heard it before
Well, I said, what good are you?
Why dont i, no sense of fear?
You used to be my favorite toy
But now youre just my little rocket boy
(rocket boy)
My rocket boy
(my rocket boy)

Rocket boy, when are you gonna land?
(rocket boy, yeah)
I said, go, dont stop it, go, dont stop it, now may all understand.
(rocket boy, yeah)
I said, rocket boy, when are you gonna land?
(rocket boy)
I said, rocket boy, they just dont understand.
(die is cast and the dice are rollin, Im feelin like shit cause shes feelin like gold)
You used to be my pride and joy, my boy
You had me
