[Hook]
Ohhh, oh ooh 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]
Flat lands low lands on the track
Shows the water, pan the track
Lightning won, lightning won
Close up hands to silhouette, crow

[Hook]
Ohhh, oh ooh oh
Ohhh, oh ooh oh

[Bridge]
Lightning won, lightning won

[Hook]
Ohhh, oh ooh oh
Ohhh, oh ooh oh

[Verse 3]
Hound bark on the track
Hound crow hold onto your hat
Lightning won, lightning won
The lowlands, timberlands, badlands, birdlands

[Hook]
Ohhh, oh ooh oh
Ohhh, oh ooh oh

[Outro]
Ohhh, oh ooh oh
Ohhh, oh ooh oh

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
