The boys and 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 
They're so ruthless when they fight 

When the lightning strikes...Oooooh 

And it's a free for all in the parking lot 
Tell me who will 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 

Uum...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 

Oooh...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 

Oooh, oooh... 

When the lightning strikes 
When the lightning strikes 
When the lightning strikes 
Can'tcha hear the thunder 
When the Lightning Strikes
Can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
