  • Sing the letter g
    Hmm, okay, "G!"
    Lightning fire magic prayer
    Lightning fire magic prayer

    (N.E.R.D) Light bulb, fire and cause of all that is
    There was, and will be, beyond beginnings and end
    The town, they say it's you, that starts the fire
    Without matches that will open desire

    Live wire going through your body
    Burn the old make you anew
    It's a mystical experience party
    The universal connection to you
    Where do I begin?
    Mad ethnic
    (Mad ethnic) Where do I begin?
    Mad ethnic
    (Mad ethnic) Where do I begin?

    Lightning fire magic prayer
    Far beyond the gaseous layer
    What if we all put our hands in the air
    For that lightning fire magic prayer

    Sometimes, you may have to do unpopular things
    For them to see your faith may be the same
    You may not refer to it by a name
    Long as you know it is from whence you came

    Live wire going through your body
    Burn the old make you anew
    It's a mystical experience party
    The universal connection to you
    Where do I begin?
    Mad ethnic
    (Mad ethnic) Where do I begin?
    Mad ethnic
    (Mad ethnic) Where do I begin?

    Catch me out here

    Catch me out here

    (Hey!)
    They got that crazed look in their eyes
    Something in the water
    Everybody's in a trance
    Because the brainwash is in high tide
    Something in the water
    You can tell when they dance

    Wasn't everything that everybody promised
    Once you tried it, did you think that you could stop it?
    Everything has a cost, did you profit?
    You can't see your life until you sit and watch it

    They got that crazed look in their eyes
    Something in the water
    Everybody's in a trance
    Because the brainwash is in high tide
    Something in the water
    You can tell when they dance

    Hey young fish, doesn't know that it's wet, yeah
    Once it swims, it starts drinking, it forgets, yeah
    Know the fish bowl is your technology
    No direction, telling everybody "follow me"

    Can somebody burst the dam?
    Waiting for the great, I am
    Can somebody burst the dam?
    Waitin' for the great, I am

    Come on now, lightning fire magic prayer
    I can't believe it's never been dead
    Imagine if at once, all hands in the air
    In the lightning fire magic prayer

    Where do I begin?
    Where do I begin? (Mad ethnic)
    Where do I begin? (Mad ethnic)
    Where do I begin? Writer/s: Pharrell Williams
