  • Where was I when the rockets came to life
    And carried you away into the alligator sky?
    Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
    I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go

    Uh uh, that's not a plane, that's me
    I'm sittin' where I'm supposed to
    Floatin' on the cloud, can't nobody come close to
    The concrete and the sky switch places
    So now my ceiling is painted with cosmic spaces
    Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut
    Blastin' off like a rocket from the ground up
    I used to catch a cab on the Monday
    Now the taxi's sellin' lights on the runway
    Fly, condo on the Milky Way
    A house on the cloud and God's my landlord
    And for my rent all I pay is my drive
    I got that
    So if you need me you can find me in the alligator sky

    Where was I when the rockets came to life
    And carried you away into the alligator sky?
    (Into the alligator sky)
    Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
    I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go

    Roller coaster through the atmosphere
    I'm drowning in this starry serenade
    Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
    My imagination's taking me away

    Reverie, whisper in my ear
    I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid
    Roller coaster through the atmosphere
    My imagination's taking me away

    Uh, now I'ma dance like I never dance
    Sing like I never sing, dream like I never dream
    Or try to, 'cause we've been lied to
    That the sun is somethin' that we can't fly to
    Well, I sit on my star and see street lights
    Look up, ha, you'll miss me if you blink twice
    Imagination is hot and if you got it you can meet me
    When you see me in the alligator sky

    Where was I when the rockets came to life
    And carried you away into the alligator sky?
    (Into the alligator sky)
    Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
    I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go

    Where was I when the rockets came to life
    And carried you away into the alligator sky?
    Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
    I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go

    In the alligator sky?
    In the alligator sky?
    In the alligator sky?
    In the alligator sky? Writer/s: Adam R. Young
