Rocket Boy -

Headlights and red eyes

A warm beer between your thighs

Mess of pills, Hollywood hills

The red lights read me my rights

Going in a circle, getting tighter every turn

Think you’re getting better but you’re never quite sure

Say it’s all ahead of you, how far can you see?

You’re living on your knees

Driver, please find your feet

The light’s green but you spaced the keys

You’re going fast but it won’t last

You’re all speed and no gas

Going in a circle, never getting to the point

Burning up the atmosphere, my rocket ship boy

You say there’s a finish line, you’re already beat

You’re living on your knees

Rocket boy, my only son

You look so sad but you’re so young

You get so high, you’re all alone

Rocket boy, come home

Notebook, some notes you took

A big hit with a crooked hook

Your best friend is you again

You can’t win but you won’t give in

Going in a circle, getting lower every time

Say it isn’t hurting but I never see you smile

Asking for the doctor and calling you a priest

You’re living on your knees

Rocket boy, you burn so bright

And I believe, you lie so beautifully

When you get high you’re all alone

Rocket boy, come home

Dad it’s me again, I hate to call

Could you come down?

There’s been an accident

Were you involved?

Yes, sir, no, sir, they say I was

Got home, cried alone

The video will surely show

No one knows I came this close

To being me, but I lost us both

Going in a circle and it’s keeping you around

You’ve been here forever but you’ve never been found

You didn’t want a witness and I didn’t want to see

You living on your knees

Rocket boy

Rocket boy, come home
