  • Oh, oh ooh oh

    When I lay myself to sleep
    Pray that I don't go too deep
    Lightning won, lightning won
    Because it's cold down, gold down there, crow

    Flat lands low lands on the track
    Shows the water, pan the track
    Lightning won, lightning won
    Close up hands to silhouette, crow

    Oh, oh ooh oh
    Oh, oh ooh oh

    Lightning won, lightning won

    Oh, oh ooh oh
    Oh, oh ooh oh

    Hound bark on the track
    Hound crow hold onto your hat
    Lightning won, lightning won
    The lowlands, timberlands, badlands, birdlands

    Oh, oh ooh oh
    Oh, oh ooh oh

    Oh, oh ooh oh
    Oh, oh ooh oh Writer/s: Bill Berry, Michael Mills, Michael Stipe, Peter Buck
