Lightning Strikes (Not Once but Twice)
Lyricist:Mick Jones, John Mellor
Now lightning strikes in old New York It may be dark but I wanna talk It might rain, it might snow Too many things that I got to know
If this is spring then it's time to sing Never mind the lil' 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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 glass to glass, street to street Buildings touch St. Peter's feet From car to bar, from Prez to Shah Everything is in the jar
4 winds blow 'cause 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 Okay so roll [Incomprehensible] From Harlem, strike one Lightining strike
Harlem slum to penthouse block On every door I already knocked There wasn't anybody that I didn't leave alone Somebody lying under every stone
Everything that a man could need Is in a bag down by my knee That looks good, this ain't got seeds Cheaper than booze down in the bowery
Lightning strike! Old New York! Everything's light! Strike!
Hey ho, such a night I'll see y'all when the lightning strike A polaroid caught in the act You're married too and that's a fact
But I won't peek and I won't squeak Down by the trucks on Christopher Street It's Cuban Day, Oi Vey Chinese New Year let's call it a day
[Incomprehensible]lightning strike! Yeah Tootsie! [Incomprehensible] Stike! Lightening! Yeah
Hey Chi man that melody is Puerto Rican Hey Chi man is what he's speaking An' there's the road down into London Town Where many cars get broken down
It's the Westway from Ladbroke Grove Runs down to Old Hounslow [Incomprehensible] [Incomprehensible]
Just thought I'd mention the new extension That run's down the 59th street intersection Did you hear the news y'all? London Town on the Broadway
Strike!
