High, higher than the sun You shoot me from a gun I need you to elevate me here At the corner of your lips As the orbit of your hips Eclipse, you elevate my soul I've lost all self-control Been living like a mole Now going down, excavation I and I in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high, elevation A star lit up like a cigar Strung out like a guitar Maybe you could educate my mind Explain all these controls I can't sing but I've got soul The goal is elevation A mole, living in a hole Digging up my soul, now Going down, excavation I and I in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high, elevation Love, lift me up out of these blues Won't you tell me something true I believe in you A mole, living in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation I and I in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high, elevation Elevation Elevation Elevation Elevation
