Elevation Lyrics

[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, you elevate my soul

[Chorus]
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 could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I 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

[Bridge]
Love, lift me 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
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

[Outro]
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
