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
[Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 1]
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 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]
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
[Bridge]
Roller coaster through the atmosphere [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/o/owl_city/alligator_sky.html ] 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
[Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 2]
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, 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
[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
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
