Beck - Saw Lightning lyrics

Oh, oh oh, oh

There was a day, saw lightning
There was a day, saw lightning
(I saw lightning)
Hey, hey hey saw lightning (Oh)
Ho-ho-ho, saw lightning (Oh)
Hee hee hee, saw lightning (Oh)
Ha ha ha (Oh)

I saw wind and rain, saw mountains fall
Saw temples burn and prison walls
I saw floods coming, saw children run
Got no more shelter and no more sun
(I couldn't sleep last night because I, Oh)

Then it came to me in a flash of light
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
In the bottom barrel on the longest day
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain
(Oh) saw lightning, saw lightning
(Oh) , saw lightning held my head up
(Oh) and it struck me down (I saw lightning)
Down to the ground (I saw lightning, Oh)
And it struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down to the ground
(I couldn't sleep last night because I, Oh)

There was a day, saw lightning
There was a day, saw lightning
Hey, hey hey saw lightning (Oh, yeah)
Ho-ho-ho (Hey) , saw lightning (Oh)
Hee hee hee (Hey) , saw lightning (Oh)
Ha ha ha
(I couldn't sleep last night because I, Oh)

When they're named, I wonder where it go
(Hey)
Hold the sea, where it's sunny, we row (Hoo)
One more day like daddy ain't know (Woo)
I need these and sunny and go (yeah)
Hold the sea 'round money I know (Hey)
Old merry, they go, start down low (Ho)
Hold the sea with weather, I go (Hey)
But down, we row (Uh, woo)

Then it came to me in a flash of light (yeah)
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
(Hey, hey)
In the bottom barrel on the longest day
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, yeah)
Saw lightning, saw lightning
(Hey) , saw lightning (Woo)
Held my head up (Hoo, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And it struck me down (Oh)
Down to the ground (Oh)
And it struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down to the ground (Oh)
(I couldn't sleep last night because I, Oh)

Hey, hey hey saw lightning (Oh)
Ho-ho-ho, saw lightning (Oh)
Hee hee hee, saw lightning (Oh)
Ha ha ha, saw lightning (Oh) saw lightning
(Oh) , saw lightning (Hey, oh)
Saw lightning (Hey, oh)
(I couldn't sleep last night because I)
(Hey, oh)

Lord, won't you take me (Hey)
And leave me in the light? (Hoo, woo, Oh)
Lord, won't you take me (yeah, hey)
And leave me to the light? (Ho, hey, Oh)
Lord's gonna take me (Right, woo)
And leave me in the light (yeah, Oh)
Lord's gonna take me (Hey, hey hey hey)
And leave me in the light (Hoo, woo, woo)

Then it came to me in a flash of light
(Oh, yeah)
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
(Oh, hey hey)
In the bottom barrel on the longest day (Oh)
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, yeah, Oh)
Saw lightning (I saw lightning, oh)
Saw lightning (Hey, I saw lightning, oh, woo)
Saw lightning (I saw lightning, oh)
Held my head up (yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh)
And it struck me down (Oh)
Down to the ground (Oh)
And it struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down to the ground (Oh)

Hey, hey hey (I saw lightning-ning, Oh)
(I saw lightning-ning, Oh)
(I saw lightning-ning, Oh)
(I saw lightning-ning)
