about

"The Rocket Song" is the third single off My Second Debut Album, a Johan Phineas Bëst Production.

The song pays tribute to Ralph Carney's zaniness with a borrowed line from his song "Closet Bears."

This is not my Favorite song off the forthcoming record, but it IS my secret favorite song off the forthcoming record :)

lyrics

I want a rocket but I can't afford it
I got no rocket gotta slink instead
I want a rocket but I can't afford it
I got no rocket gotta slink instead

I got a rocket but I don't know how to
Work this thing, don't know how to fly
I got a rocket but I still can't fly it
I got a rocket gotta drag instead

Maybe
You're just going through a phase
But it's been going on for ninety days
Tell me what's the scoop

I want a rocket but I can't afford it
I want a rocket but I can't afford it
I want a rocket that I can't afford, yeah
I want a rocket that I can't afford

Yeah IIIIIIIIIIII
Yeah I'd say we'd head to Mars, babe
Show you everything I got, babe
(yeaA-A-A-A-AHhhH)

(stretching my face)
(stretching my face)
(stretching my face)
(stretching my face)

I want a rocket but I can't afford it
Ain't got no rocket gotta slink instead
Ain't got no rocket cuz I can't afford it
Ain't got no rocket gotta slink instead

(haha what the heck)
(DON'T STOP IT YET, WE'RE NOT READY)

Every song is great, but the lyrics to this one put it at the top for me. ryanlesser
