Rocket's Tail - Kate Bush
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 for only 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 seemed 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?
