Lightning Strikes Songtext
von Aerosmith

The boys and the Dukes are ready to rumble
The word on the street, some heads are gonna tumble
Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
In this avenue tonight
When the lightning strikes

Zip Gun Johnny′s finger is itchin'
Oh, the lid′s gonna blow up in Hell's Kitchen
It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
It′s so ruthless when they fight
When the lightning strikes (ooh)

And it′s a free for all in the parking lot
Tell me who'll rule the street
And the night explodes when the cops bring down the heat
And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood or they′ll read your funeral rights
When the lightning strikes


It's dog-eat-dog when you′re meetin' your rival
In the combat zone it′s a means of survival
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
On a cloak and dagger night
When the lightning strikes

Ooh, it's a free for all in the parking lot
Over who'll rule the street
And the night explodes when the cops bring down the heat
And the chains they crash like a thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood or they′ll read your funeral rights

When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
Can′t you hear the thunder when lightning strikes?
Can't you hear the thunder when the lightning strikes?
Can′t you, can't you, can′t you hear the thunder, lightning strikes
Can't you, can′t you, can't you hear the thunder when the lightning strikes?
Can't you, can′t you, can′t you hear the thunder when the lightning strikes?
Can't you, can′t you, can't you hear the thunder when the lightning strikes?
Can′t you, can't you, can′t you hear the thunder when the lightning strikes?
