Elevation (Live from Boston, MA, Jun. 9, 2001 - Bono Cam)

The goal is elevation / Give it up!

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

Got no self-control
Digging like a mole now
Going down, excavation
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 s
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me up out of these blues
Won’t you tell me something true
I believe in you
(Check it out)
Oh that’s so hot
Shit

A mole, digging in a hole
Digging on my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
(See it coming in)

Yeah…

in Boston, June 9, 2001. The Bono Cam required Bono
to wear a bulky backpack, and was only in use for the first
three songs of the final night’s performance.
