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!

3X:

 And still as a rocket,

 I land in the river.

Was it me said you were crazy?

2X:

 I put on my cloudiest suit,

Size 5 lightning boots, too.

 'Cause I am a rocket

On fire.

With my tail on fire,

Tail on fire,

On fire.

Look at me go, look at look at me
