There’s hope in your eyes (hope in your eyes). I don’t need a religion (too hot, too hot), 'Cause love never dies (love never dies). I believe in today (believe boy, believe boy). It's better that way, when you work through the night. (oo-oo-oo-ooh:) I know what it means to work hard on machines. It’s a labour of love, so please don’t ask me why. (Chorus:) You take me up! Oh-oh! You take me up to a higher ground. You take me up … so high(!) ... that I never want to come back down. (repeat chorus) (Coda:) As per "intro/bridge", but half as long again and holding last note.
