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!
Remember to breathe
'Cause it'll take your breath away
When the engines cough, and you blast off
Ignite the night with a firecracker flash
Remember to live
'Cause you're gonna be thrilled to death
When the stars collide and your eyes grow wide
Take it in with your breath against the glass
Remember to dream
'Cause it's gonna be a starry night
Over every town as you look down
So harmonize with the singing satellites
And remember to scream
'Cause you're gonna be lost for words
When the sparks erupt and they light you up
Dip your toes in the galaxy; it's yours to explore tonight
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
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
I'm drowning in this starry serenade
When ecstacy 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
Let's hear it for the universe
Where it never hurts diving in head first
Take a taste of the melting Milky Way
And remember to laugh
'Cause you're livin' in a crazy world
Where you'll never guess what can happen next
Give the outer limits my regards as you float to fly away
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
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!
In the alligator sky
