All Things Bright and Beautiful cover
10. Alligator Sky
Album: All Things Bright and Beautiful
Artist: Owl City
         
 

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 thats not a plane, that's me
I'm sitting where I'm supposed to
Floating on a cloud, can't nobody come close to
The concrete and the sky switch places
So now my ceiling is painted with cosmic spaces
Firecraker to the moon, keep your eyes shut
Blasting off like a rocket from the ground up
I used to catch a cab on a Monday
Now I taxi satellites on the runway fly
A condo on the milkyway, a house on a 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
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

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 something that we can't fly to
Well, I sit on my star and see streetlights
Look up, you'll miss me if you blink twice
Imagination is high, 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
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
