Guitar, drums

White lights, strange city, mad music
(All around)
Midnight, street magic, crazy people
(Crazy sound)
Jack Flash, Rocket Man
Sergeant Pepper and the band
Ziggy, Benny and the Jets
Ah, take a rocket
[Chorus]
We just gotta fly
(I can take you through the center of the dark)
We're gonna fly
(On a collision course to crash into my heart)
I will be your, I will be your, I will be your
(Rocket, yeah, satellite of love)
(Rocket, yeah, satellite of love)
(Rocket, yeah, satellite of love)
Rocket baby
Come on, I'll be your satellite of love

[Chorus]
We just gotta fly
(I can take you through the center of the dark)
We're gonna fly

I will be your, I will be your, I will be your
(Rocket, yeah, satellite of love)
(Rocket, yeah, satellite of love)
(Rocket, yeah, satellite of love)
Rocket baby
Come on, I'll be your satellite of love
We just gotta fly

I will be your, I will be your, I will be your

Come on, I'll be your satellite of love
