Rocket Boy

Headlights and red eyes
 A warm beer between your thighs
 Mess of pills, Hollywood hills
 The red lights read me my rights
 Going in a circle, getting tighter every turn
 Think you're getting better but you're never quite sure
 Say it's all ahead of you, how far can you see?
 You're living on your knees
 Driver, please find your feet
 The light's green but you spaced the keys
 You're going fast but it won't last
 You're all speed and no gas
 Going in a circle, never getting to the point
 Burning up the atmosphere, my rocket ship boy
 You say there's a finish line, you're already beat
 You're living on your knees
 Rocket boy, my only son
 You look so sad but you're so young
 You get so high, you're all alone
 Rocket boy, come home
 Notebook, some notes you took
 A big hit with a crooked hook
 Your best friend is you again
 You can't win but you won't give in
 Going in a circle, getting lower every time
 Say it isn't hurting but I never see you smile
 Asking for the doctor and calling you a priest
 You're living on your knees
 Rocket boy, you burn so bright
 And I believe, you lie so beautifully
 When you get high you're all alone
 Rocket boy, come home
 Dad it's me again, I hate to call
 Could you come down? There's been an accident
 Were you involved?
 Yes, sir, no, sir, they say I was
 Got home, cried alone
 The video will surely show
 No one knows I came this close
 To being me, but I lost us both
 Going in a circle and it's keeping you around
 You've been here forever but you've never been found
 You didn't want a witness and I didn't want to see
 You living on your knees
 Rocket boy
 Rocket boy, come home
