Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You elevate my soul
I've got no 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
[Verse 2]
A star
Lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can't sing, but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
[Chorus]
A mole
Digging 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
[Verse 3]
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh
[Bridge]
Love
Lift me up out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true?
I believe in you
[Chorus]
A mole
Digging 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
[Verse 4]
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation
[Outro]
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh
