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 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
