When the lightnin´ strikes and the sky turns red Better bolt your door, put your child to bed Better pour a drink, better drink it fast Smoke a cigarette, ´till the storm has passed Better make no sound, babe don´t be around
When the lightnin´ strikes
In the drivin´ rain, when the darkness falls On the howlin´ wind, can you hear the call Better draw the blinds, better say a prayer Hear your back door slam, but there´s no one there Better make no sound, babe don´t be around When the lightnin strikes
Don´t be around, don´t you make no sound When the lightnin´ strikes Better curl it up, keep it outta sight Oh Lord, when the lightnin´ strikes Baby don´t be around, baby don´t make a sound On the darkest night, when the lightnin´ strikes In the drivin´ rain, you can hear the call In the drivin´ rain, when the lightnin´ strikes
