I'm a rocket flying through the city of delights My eyes are filled with all kinds of tempting sights Plastic money and neon lights and music in the air Make me a loop and wish that I was there Oh, I'm going round and round And I seem to hit the ground I'm an actor on the screen and someone shot me down I saw the gun, but I didn't hear no sound A lady in a leather dress is waving her goodbye She's smiling and it makes me wonder why Oh, I'm going round and round And I seem to hit the ground Yes, I'm going round and round And I seem to hit the ground I'm a rocket aiming at the leather lady's purse I'm a rocket I'm a rocket I'm a rocket I'm a rocket I'm going round and round And I seem to hit the ground Yes, I'm going round and round And I seem to hit the ground
