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..
