Elevation¹     from "Tomb Raider "

Yeah, yah
Whoo...

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 hips²
Eclipse, you elevate my soul

I've got no self-control
Been living like a mole³
Now going down, excavation⁴
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 can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

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

Whoo...

Love, lift me out of these blues⁵
Won't you tell me something true?
I believe in you

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

Elevation...

Whoo...
