Saw Lightning - Intellectual

[Intro: Beck]

Oh, oh

[Verse 1: Beck]

There was a day, saw lightning

There was a day, saw lightning (I saw lightning)

[Refrain: Beck]

Hey, hey, hey, saw lightning

Ho, ho, ho, saw lightning

Hee, hee, hee, saw lightning

Ha, ha, ha

[Verse 2: Beck]

Saw wind and rain, saw mountains fall

Saw temples burn and prison walls

Saw floods coming, saw children run

Got no more shelter, no more sun

[Interlude: Daren Dukes]

(I couldn't sleep last night because I—)

[Chorus: Beck]

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

Saw lightning

Held my head up

And it struck me down (I saw lightning)

Down to the ground (I saw lightning)

And it struck me down, struck me down

Struck me down to the ground

[Verse 1: Beck]

There was a day, saw lightning

[Refrain: Beck, Pharrell Williams & Daren Dukes]

Hey, hey, hey, saw lightning

Ho, ho, ho (Hey), saw lightning

Hee, hee-hee (Hey), saw lightning

Ha-ha-ha (I couldn't sleep last night because I—)

[Verse 3: Pharrell Williams]

When they're named, I wonder where it go (Hey)

Hold the sea, where it's sunny, we row (Hoo)

One more day that it ain't getting done (Woo)

I need Jesus, I need to go (Yeah)

Hold the sea but what do I know (Hey)

Old merry, 'cause it start down low (Ho)

Hold the sea with weather, I go (Hey)

But down, we row (Uh, woo)

[Chorus: Beck & Pharrell Williams]

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 (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)

Saw lightning (Hey)

Saw lightning (Woo)

Held my head up (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And it struck me down

Down to the ground

And it struck me down, struck me down

Struck me down to the ground

[Interlude: Daren Dukes]

(I couldn't sleep last night because I—)

[Refrain: Beck, Pharrell Williams & Daren Dukes]

Hey, hey, hey, saw lightning

Ho, ho, ho, saw lightning

Hee, hee, hee, saw lightning

Ha, ha, ha, saw lightning

Saw lightning (Hey)

Saw lightning (Oh)

(I couldn't sleep last night because I—)

[Bridge: Beck & Pharrell Williams]

Lord, won't you take me (Hey, ooh)

And lead me in the light? (Woo, yeah)

Lord, won't you take me (Hey, oh)

And lead me to the light? (I saw lightning)

Lord's gonna take me (Woo, yeah)

And lead me in the light (I saw lightning, hey)

Lord's gonna take me (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

And lead me in the light (Ooh, woo, woo)

[Chorus: Beck & Pharrell Williams]

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 (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)

Saw lightning (I saw lightning)

Held my head up (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And it struck me down

Down to the ground

And it struck me down, struck me down

Struck me down to the ground

[Outro: Beck]

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

(I saw lightning-ning)
