(Chorus)
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 lettin' go
I'm never lettin' 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
Heh, I used to catch a cab on the Monday
Now the taxi's sellin' lights on the runway, fly
A 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
Got that so If you need me
You can find me in the alligator sky
(Chorus)
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
I'm drowning in this starry serenade
Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
My imagination's taking me away
Reverie whispered 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'mma dance like I never dance
Sing like I never sing
Dream like I've never dreamed
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
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
(Chorus)
Owl City!
("There's a fundamental truth to our nature;
Man must explore")
Where was I when the rockets came to life
(Keep your eyes shut)
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
(Oh, like a rocket from the ground up)
Even though, I'll never know what's up ahead
(On the Milky Way)
I'm never lettin' go
(I'mma dream like I've never dreamed)
I'm never lettin' go
In the alligator sky
(In the alligator sky)
In the alligator sky
(Look up
You'll miss me if you blink twice)
In the alligator sky
(In the alligator sky)
In the alligator sky
