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 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 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, 'cause 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 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 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 living in a crazy world Where you'll never guess what could 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 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 (Never letting go, never letting go) In the alligator sky In the alligator sky
