About Thunder

"Thunder" is a song by Prince and The New Power Generation, from the 1991 album Diamonds and Pearls. It was issued as a limited, individually numbered 12-inch single picture disc in the UK only, and the edited version was available only on the promotional single. The lyrics can be interpreted as referring to the night Prince decided to withdraw The Black Album, when he was rumored to have suffered a bad ecstasy trip. This is the first single cover to feature Mayte, sitting at the lower left. The B-sides were previously released on the "Gett Off" maxi-single: "Violet the Organ Grinder" and "Gett Off" (Thrust Dub).

Thunder, all through the night
Promise to see Jesus in the morning light
Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight

Oh, Thunder 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Love, nobody know just how it was born 
Love, first came to me with the radio on
Jumped up in my body with an attitude
Kissed me on the mouth and said "Your leader take me to"

'Twas like thunder all through the night
And a promise to see Jesus in the morning light
Love say "Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight

Love's kiss was running all through my veins
The bed started shakin', I don't know who to blame
Me or this flower right in front of my eyes
Is this my sweet savior or the devil in disguise

'Twas like thunder (oh) all through the night (all through)
Promise to see Jesus in the morning light
Love say "Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight"

Thunder, hey hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

(It was truly truly)
Like rain falling on a window pane
Tears came to my eyes when I asked her name
Made me holler when it finally came
Said "Only the children born of me will remain"

'Twas like thunder all through the night
And a promise to see Jesus in the morning light (mornin' light)
Love say "Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight"

Thunder

It will be all right (all right)
(It was truly like thunder)
Don't do it like that, do it like this
Oh oh (thunder) oh oh (thunder) oh oh

Thunder (thunder)

(Thunder)

(It was truley truly like)

Like thunder (thunder) all through the night (thunder yeah)
Promise to see Jesus in the morning light (it will be all right)
Love say "Take my hand, it'll be alright (it's gonna be alright)
C'mon save your soul tonight"

Oh Thunder
Thunder, thunder yeah yeah yeah
Thunder
Oh thunder
Thunder

Oh Thunder
Oh oh thunder
Thunder
Oh thunder
Thunder
Oh (thunder) thunder

Thunder
Thunder oh
