David Bowie apparently really wanted to play Rorschach in what would have been Terry Gilliam's version of Watchmen, would he had been good for the part had the movie happened? I have trouble picturing anyone better than Jackie Earle Haley, to be honest.

Rorshachs Journal October 12th 1985 She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour 9:00 a.m. And I'm gonna be high As a kite by then

I miss the Earth so much I miss my wife It's lonely out in space On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh, no, no, no I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh, no, no, no I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids In fact it's cold as hell And there's no one there to raise them If you did

And all this science I don't understand It's just my job five days a week A rocket man A rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh, no, no, no I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh, no, no, no I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
