Higher Love Lyrics

(Performed by David Josefsberg (Roy Bacon) and Ensemble)


[Flying Elvis Ensemble]
Jump, jump, jumpity, jump (4x)

[Roy Bacon]
When the King passed on in '77
I was only eight years old
But I knew like a flash, like bolt of lightning
That his story must be told
So I traded my dog for an old guitar
And I taught myself how to sing
And from that day to this I have lived my life
In the service of the King

[Ensemble]
Jump, jump, jumpity, jump (2x)

[Roy Bacon]
I curled my lip, I learned to shake my hip
I bought a Nudie suit all in white
But I felt in my gut, in my bones, in my heart
That something just wasn't right
So I got on my knees
I said Elvis, please
You gotta tell me what to do
And a light shone down and heavenly voice said
"Roy I'm talking to you"

He said:
Love is never easy, Roy
Love is never clear
Love requires faith, my boy
Conquer all your fears
Go beyond your vision, Roy
Look into the sky
Take a chance
And take that leap
And fly, fly, fly-yyyy
Until you feel that

[Roy + Ensemble]
Higher love

[Roy Bacon]
I'm talking about a higher love
You can get all the riches
You've been dreamin' of
But you won't know what you're missing
If you don't know how to listen for the

[Roy + Ensemble]
Higher love

[Roy Bacon]
A hunk of, hunk of higher love
I said I've got the word from the King above
That a man ain't a man if he can't feel the higher love

[Ensemble]
Jump, jump, jumpity, jump (4x)

[Flying Elvis Soloist]
I'm looking for a higher love

[Roy Bacon]
I'm talking about a higher love

[Flying Elvis Soloist]
Sometimes a guy needs a gentle shove
But you don't get something
if you can't start jumpin' for a

[Roy + Ensemble]
Higher love

[Roy Bacon]
A hunk of, hunk of higher love, yeah

[Flying Elvis Soloist]
You can knock boots with Catherine Deneuve

[Roy + Soloist]
But you won't be a man
If you can't feel the higher love

[Ensemble]
Lift me up, lift me up higher (7x)

[Roy Bacon]
Love is not convenient, Jack
Kiss your fears goodbye
Get up off your butt my friend
And fly, fly, fly-yyyy
You gotta feel that

[Roy + Ensemble]
Higher love
I'm talking about a higher love
I tell you it's a
Higher love
A hunk of, hunk of higher love
Let's give a little
Higher love
A like a lick of higher love

[Roy Bacon]
See you try and you try just as hard as you can
But you wonder why the shit keeps hittin' the fan
Because a man, ain't a man, ain't a man,
ain't a man, ain't a man
Without the higher love

[Ensemble]
Jump, jump, jumpity, jump (3x)

[Ensemble] - SPOKEN
*Elvis laughing*

[Roy Bacon] - SPOKEN
Huh!
