Elton John's "Rocket Man" (1972)

Lean back in my recliner, listening
To Elton, staring at the ceiling,
Imagining the night sky beyond it,
Then I get this spooky feeling,
That the chair on which I sit,
And my tentative dwelling place,
Are clinging to a planet reeling,
At great speed, through Space...
