"Elevation" Lyrics U2




"Elevation" Lyrics U2

The version of the song released as a single was entitled the "Tomb Raider Mix" (mixed by Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers), differing significantly from the album version in that it was a heavier guitar and drums version. This arrangement is how U2 have performed the song since its release rather than the album version. 

Who knew Bono had such a facination with moles?

Elevation Lyrics:

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 into 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 living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I into the sky
You make me feel like I can fly so high
Elevation

Love, lift me 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
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly so high
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation
