Rocketown

A Friday night affair

Out in the city heat

Always a party there

Along the sordid street

And it was guaranteed the place to be was Rocketown

The drinks were two for one

Inside the crowded bars

The girls would make their run

Down on the boulevard

It was the idol place, we lived the ways of Rocketown

Hang around by the street light

In the heart of the night life

There came a certain man

A stranger to the crowd

We didn't understand

What he was all about

He walked a different pace, so out of place in Rocketown

They made a fool of him

They teased him when he's speak

But when they knocked him down

He turned the other cheek

He told me I could find a life outside of Rocketown

Hang around by the street light

In the heart of the night life

What was his mission?

Where was he going?

Why was his heart light always glowing?

All I was missing

He stood there holding

What was his secret?

Could I know it?

Some didn't like him near

Some laughed and turned away

But me, I longed to hear

All that he had to say

He had a peace of mind I couldn't find in Rocketown

When I reached down inside me

I could feel the emptiness

What was his mission? (What was his mission?)

Where was he going?

Why was his heart light always glowing?

All I was missing (all I was missing)

He stood there holding

What was his secret?

Could I know it? Yeah

He said it's in the heart

This change that comes to be

Now he had done his part

The choice was up to me

As we were standing there, he said a prayer for Rocketown

As we were standing there, he said a prayer for Rocketown

He walked off silently and prayed for me

And Rocketown

Rocketown

Down at Rocketown

Yeah, yeah, oh-oh

Rocketown

Rocketown

He prayed for me

He prayed for me

Rocketown

Rocketown, yeah

He prayed for me down at Rocketown

He prayed for me down at Rocketown
