Chorus:
          G           D               A
Where was I when the rockets came to life
    Em            G           D           A Em
And carried you away into the alligator sky
       G                 D              A
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
    Em             G       Bm            A
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

               A
Remember to breathe, 'cause it'll take
              Bm
your breath away
         G                  D
When the engines cough and you blast off
A                       Bm            G D
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 'cause it's
yours to explore tonight.

Chorus

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.

Chorus - x2

In the alligator sky.
In the alligator sky.
In the alligator sky.
