A flashing chrome-man lighting up the night
Heading downtown invited

Past city lights, a silver moon igniting memories
Tonight I'm losing track of time and place
I'm back in Space when he was coming down the stairs

Tonight I'll be like Armstrong
and I'm doing what seems impossible
Tonight I'll be the rocket man
And make it look incredible

Just like 40 years ago
Still, it's a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I'm being at the edge of the human frontier
(At the edge of the human frontier)

He brought his Eagle to a touchdown phase
With 30 seconds left to crash and fade

The guys at Houston got their breath in pace
Around the world folks heard him tell his words
Of destiny, whilst stepping into history

Tonight I'll be like Armstrong
and I'm doing what seems impossible
Tonight I'll be the rocket man
And make it look incredible

Just like 40 years ago
Still, it's a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I'm being at the edge of the human frontier
(At the edge of the human frontier)

Woh, oh, oh
Ooh

I wanna find what Mankind is unaware of outside Mars
I wanna go to those undiscovered corners of the stars

Tonight I'll be like Armstrong
and I'm doing what seems impossible
Tonight I'll be the rocket man
And make it look incredible

Just like 40 years ago
Still, it's a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I'm being at the edge of the human frontier
Human frontier
