And in the middle time, the guitar plays very softly:

Lyrics:
(Intro)
Chorus:
Hooo! HooHooo! Hooo HooHooo!x eight times
Verse:
High, Higher tan the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips,
Is the orbit of your hips,
Eclipse, you elevate my soul!,
I´ve lost all self control!
living like a mole now
going down excavation,
You and I, In the sky,
you make me feel like I can fly,
so high, Elevation!
Second verse:
A star, lit up like a cigar,
strung out like a guitar,
maybe you could educate my mind,
Explain all this controlls,
I cant´ sing but I got soul
The goal, is elevation
A mole, diggin in a hole,
diggin up my soul
now going down, excavation,
You & I, in the sky,
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Chorus:
Hooo! HooHooo! Hooo HooHooo!x eight times
Bridge:
Looooove
Lift me up upon this blues
youl´d you tell me something true
I belive in you
A mole!
Diggin in a hole
Diggin up my soul now going down, excavation
You & I, in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly,
So high, eleveation!
Chorus:
Hooo! HooHooo! Hooo HooHooo!x eight times
