"Levitate" lyrics - BRUCE HORNSBY

Well, what have we here, what do I see?
I think someone's coming up to challenge me
I love it, I say bring it, I'm well prepared
Confidence rises with the heat out there

Well, this thing is great
My excitement will not abate
I will act and not hesitate
Listen all you can relate

Like a skater with the best of skates
Confidence elevates
Looking for an ecstatic state
You are the master of your own fate

Watch how we radiate
Get up little children, levitate

I look and I look for the euphoric state
We've been putting our time in while you were playing games
Searching for a state of ecstasy
The cynical armchair experts, I'll just let them be

Well, this thing is great
My excitement will not abate
I will act and not hesitate
Listen all you can relate

Like a skater with the best of skates
Confidence elevates
Looking for an ecstatic state
You are the master of your own fate

Gather 'round the school yard gate, history will record this date
Feel the shifting tectonic plates, you can get it even if you're straight
Allow me to illustrate how we humbly will create
Time for the shake and bake, get up little children, levitate

And the village children elevate
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on levitate
And the village children levitate, elevate, levitate

This thing is great
My excitement will not abate
I will act and not hesitate
Listen all you can relate

Like a skater with the best of skates
Give a man a clean slate
I'm gonna, gonna stay up late
You are the master of your own fate

Gather round the schoolyard gate, history will record this date
Feel the shifting tectonic plates, you can get it even if you're straight
And the village children levitate, and the village children elevate
And the village children levitate, elevate, levitate

Allow me to illustrate how we humbly will create
Time for the master of time and space
Time for the shake and bake
This is how we levitate
