the clash - lightning strikes (not once but twice) lyrics

Loading...

now lightning strikes in old new york
it may be dark but i wanna talk
it might rain, it might snow
too many things i got to know
if this is spring than it’s time to sing
never mind the l’il birdies wing
look out, look out, old new york
new york’s coming an’ new york talks
hey! strike! not once…
strike! but twice!

get out your money – peel a slab
roll some notes an’ hail a cab
drive in church drive in back
drive down seventh in a tank
take in the sights, feel the breeze
see new york’s one and only tree
it can be found in garbage park
but don’t inspect it after dark
strike! new york! lightning!
not once but twice.

accidental hike in the transit strike
roller skate or ride a bike
three to a car, brooklyn bridge
you won’t get far if you’re privileged
graffiti jack sprays in black
an englishman can he read it back?
deli joe he ought to know
he runs the gang on pastrami row
strike! lightning strike!

because gl-ss to gl-ss, street to street
buildings touch st. peter’s feet
from car to bar, prez to shah
everything is in the jar
the 4 winds blow cos the 4 winds know
takes a special hustle to make a roll
honey girl on her feet
i wish everything to make her sweet
strike! twice! ok so roll
