Lyrics:

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
