Liz Phair - Rocket Boy lyrics
[Liz Phair - Rocket Boy lyrics]
Rocket boy, rocket boy, rocket boy
Didn't see, I had no idea
I never heard it before
And I said, "What good are you? yeah, well
'Why don't I?' is the question of the year"
You used to be my favorite toy
But what happened to my rocket boy?
Rocket boy, where are you gonna land?
I said, "Go, don't stop it
Go, don't stop it, how we all understand"
You used to be my pride and joy
Now you're just my rocket, rocket boy
They don't know, my friends we got off again
How am I gonna get myself to sleep?
I've got stains on my sheets and my
Nails are torn down to the bone
Wouldn't it be nice to
Have an ordinary girlfriend?
Laughing 'bout it makes it real
It makes it happen to me
Well, I can reach you
Didn't see, I had no idea
I never heard it before
"Well, " I said, "What good are you?
Why don't I, no sense of fear?"
You used to be my favorite toy
But now you're just my little rocket boy
(Rocket boy) my rocket boy (My rocket boy)
Rocket boy, when are you gonna land?
(Rocket boy, yeah)
I said, "Go, don't stop it
Go, don't stop it, now they all understand"
(Rocket boy, yeah) i said, "Rocket boy
When are you gonna land?" (Rocket boy)
I said, "Rocket boy
They just don't understand"
(Die is cast and the dice are rollin'
I'm feelin' like shit 'cause
She's feelin' like gold)
You used to be my pride and joy, my boy
You had me
Didn't see, I had no idea
I never heard it before
And I said, "What good are you? yeah, well
'Why don't I?' is the question of the year"
You used to be my favorite toy
But what happened to my rocket boy?
Rocket boy, where are you gonna land?
I said, "Go, don't stop it
Go, don't stop it, how we all understand"
You used to be my pride and joy
Now you're just my rocket, rocket boy
They don't know, my friends we got off again
How am I gonna get myself to sleep?
I've got stains on my sheets and my
Nails are torn down to the bone
Wouldn't it be nice to
Have an ordinary girlfriend?
Laughing 'bout it makes it real
It makes it happen to me
Well, I can reach you
Didn't see, I had no idea
I never heard it before
"Well, " I said, "What good are you?
Why don't I, no sense of fear?"
You used to be my favorite toy
But now you're just my little rocket boy
(Rocket boy) my rocket boy (My rocket boy)
Rocket boy, when are you gonna land?
(Rocket boy, yeah)
I said, "Go, don't stop it
Go, don't stop it, now they all understand"
