Beck - Saw Lightning

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo




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

Ha ha ha

He he he, saw lightning




Saw windy manes

Saw mountains fall

Saw temples burn

Prison walls

Saw floods coming

Saw children run

We got no more shelter, no more sun




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




There was a day I saw lightning

There was a day I saw lightning

Ho ho ho, saw lightning

Hey hey hey, saw lightning

He he he, saw lightning

When they're named, I wonder where it go

Ha ha ha




Hold the sea, where it's sunny where I grow

One more day then daily I know

High, need trees, when it's sunny and go

More than fee, by money, I know

Pull me in, gotta start down low

Don't gotta sing, with weather I go

Partner we go




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




Hey hey hey, saw lightning

He he he, saw lightning

Ho ho ho, saw lightning

Ha ha ha, saw lightning

Lord, won't you take me and lead me to the light?

Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning




The Lord's gonna take me and leave me in 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




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 or in 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




I saw lightning

I saw lightning

I saw lightning

I saw lightning
