Saw Lightning Lyrics - Beck

[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)
