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?
