[Chorus] Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Flatlands, lowlands on the track Shows the water, pan the track Lightning won, lightning won Close up hands to silhouette, crow [Chorus] Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh [Bridge] Lightning won Lightning won [Chorus] Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 3] Hound bark on the track Hound crow hold onto your hat Lightning won, lightning won The lowlands, timberlands, badlands, birdlands [Chorus] Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
