Beck - Saw Lightning Lyrics

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

He he he, saw lightning

Ha ha ha



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

Hey hey hey, saw lightning

Ho ho ho, saw lightning

He he he, saw lightning

Ha ha ha



When they're named, I wonder where it go

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

Ho ho ho, saw lightning

He he he, saw lightning

Ha ha ha, saw lightning

Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning



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



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
