Beck – Saw Lightning lyrics
[Intro]
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

[Verse 1]
There was a day I saw lightning
There was a day I saw lightning (I saw lightning)
Hey hey hey, saw lightning
Ho ho ho, saw lightning
He he he, saw lightning
Ha ha ha

[Pre-Chorus]
Saw wind manes
Some mountains fall
Some temples fall
Dismal
Some floods coming
Children run
We got no more shelter, no more sun

[Chorus]
Then it came to me in a flash of light
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
The bottom bell and the longest day
The hardest wind and the fallen rain
Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
I held my head up
And it struck me down
Down to the ground
It struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down to the ground

[Verse 2]
There was a day I saw lightning
There was a day I saw lightning
Hey hey hey, saw lightning
Ho ho ho, saw lightning
He he he, saw lightning
Ha ha ha

[Pre-Chorus]
[?]
Hold the sea
Everywhere I go
Sunny and go
Down low

[Chorus]
Then it came to me in a flash of light
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
The bottom bell and the longest day
The hardest wind and the fallen rain
Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
I held my head up
And it struck me down
Down to the ground
It struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down on the ground

[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey hey, saw lightning
Ho ho ho, saw lightning
He he he, saw lightning
Ha ha ha, saw lightning
Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning

[Bridge]
Lord, won't you take me and lead me to the light?
Lord, won't you take me and lead me to the light?
The Lord's gonna take me and leave me in the light
The Lord's gonna take me and leave me in the light

[Chorus]
Then it came to me in a flash of light
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
The bottom bell and the longest day
The hardest wind and the fallen rain
I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
I held my head up
And it struck me down
Down to the ground
It struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down on the ground

[Outro]
(I saw lightning
I saw lightning
I saw lightning
I saw lightning)
