SONG LYRICS + STAGE DIRECTIONS

Higher & higher, higher & higher, higher & higher (whispered, but getting louder)

Title repeated over and over to a crescendo, kind of like in Thrift Store, then POP. Boom. Thumping base kicks in and a velvety groove is laid.

[Rapper]. Stop. Lemme roll. This tale's gotta be told. In her way n in her light, n way before we're old. Miss A?

Music out then sharply kicking in after a beat...

Paupers and princes Tailors n makers Players on day trips, going for that high

Priscilla's n princesses Ladies in waiting Superior mother's, going for that high

They're all looking for that same thing (Love, whispered) We're all looking for that same thing (Lust, whispered) Ima looking for that one thing that'll get me there (Nirvana, whispered)

I wanna go higher and higher (and higher, whispered) I wanna go higher and higher (and higher, whispered)

Don't have a choice, I've got my voice telling me, just like those ladies and Lord's..

I wanna go higher and higher (and higher, whispered) I wanna go higher and higher (and higher, whispered)

Poor men n raj's Rich men n Romeo's All with top-shelf aspires, goin for that high.

Heather's n hellcats Bitches looking like meerkats Safari hunters, going for that high.

They're all looking for that same thing (Love, whispered) We're all looking for that same thing (Lust, whispered) Ima looking for that one thing that'll get me there (Nirvana, whispered)

{Music bridge, tempo change..}

[Rapper] Aww, Miss Ariana, ready for a journey. Gonna hunt down her new 🍯. She's got the will of the gods wrapped up in a whisper. Looking for The One to kiss her.

If ya try n stop her (never work) If ya lie to stop her (never work) Just gotta let her go higher and higher (that'll work) She's got no choice, just ask her voice And let her go higher and higher (ya that works)

Cause it's all about love, lust, nirvana, love, lust, nirvana. Love, lust, nirvana. ... {Into bridge music change ..}

{Music stops}.

We only hear her heavy breathing and the beats of her heart restart the beats of the song... slowly, to a build ... But her voice is starting to crack..

And if I reach the top, I still can't stop, cause my damn voice tells me, yells at me, rings bells at me, that...

I wanna go higher and higher (and higher, whispered) I wanna go higher and higher (and higher, whispered)

[She starts to hyperventilate. The music stops.]

[Rapper]. Aww, Freeze. Hold the game, hold the game, hold the game, hold the fucking game!

Ready Miss Ariana? You good?

[There is a long, caring pause as he walks from edge of stage over to her. they embrace tightly, then he slowly moves off and fades into the dark shadows…saying boldly….]

Proceed...

[The music picks up again, gaining momentum.]

My damn voice won again. No telling now, no yelling now, no bells around at all. Just the deepest voice of Ariana, bouncing off the walls, Love, lust, Nirvana, whispered in calls...

I wanna go higher and higher (and higher, whispered)

[Rapper]. She's gotta go higher and higher (and higher, whispered). She's gotta go higher and higher (and higher, whispered).

[FADE, as we hear over and over (from both, holding each other) tightly again, smiling at each other…]

Love, lust, nirvana Love, lust, nirvana.

It's all about... Love, lust, nirvana…

[Rapper whispers to her enlightened face]

You're there, guru...!

POSTSCRIPT: This song was made for you, Ariana. Crafted and made with LOVE.
