Coma Girl
Joe Strummer Lyrics

I was crawling through a festival way out west
I was aimlessly wandering around a festival in the western part of the country.

I was thinking about love and the acid test
I was contemplating the ideas of love and the effects of psychedelic drugs.

But first I got real dizzy with a real rocking gang
Before that, I got disoriented by a group of people who were wild and intense.

And then I saw the Coma Girl and the excitement gang
Then I came across Coma Girl and her group of friends who were very enthusiastic.

And the rain came in from the wide blue yonder
The rain started falling down from the sky.

Through all the stages I wandered
I moved around all the different areas and stages of the festival.

Oh, Coma Girl and the excitement gang
Oh, Coma Girl and her group of friends who were very enthusiastic.

Mona Lisa on a motorcycle gang
Coma Girl, who was like the famous painting, riding a motorcycle with her friends.

Coma Girl
Coma Girl.

Coma Girl was beating with the oil drum gang
Coma Girl was playing percussion with a group of people using oil drums.

Some fast food fanatic was burning down a burger van
Someone who really loved fast food set fire to a van that sold burgers.

Somebody was wailing off their head, oh
Somebody was screaming really loudly and incoherently.

Nobody was ripping the teen scene dead
No one was doing anything particularly exciting or interesting related to teenage culture.

As the nineteenth hour was falling upon Desolation Row
As it was getting late in the evening in a place called Desolation Row.

Some outlaw band had the last drop on the go
A group of rebels had the last bit of alcohol available.

Let's siphon up some gas, let's get this show on the road
Let's refill our gas tank and continue our adventure.

Said the Coma Girl to the excitement gang
Coma Girl suggested to her group of friends that they keep going.

Into action everybody sprang
Everyone quickly got ready to move on to the next place.

The oil drums were beating out dulang, dulang
The group was playing a rhythmic beat on the oil drums.

Oh, Mona Lisa on a motorcycle gang
Oh, Coma Girl, who was like the famous painting, riding a motorcycle with her friends.

Coma Girl (dulang, dulang)
Coma Girl (playing the drums).

Coma Girl (dulang, dulang)
Coma Girl (playing the drums).

Mona, baby
Coma Girl, addressed affectionately.

Mo-Mona, baby (dulang, dulang)
Coma Girl, addressed affectionately, playing the drums.

Mona, baby
Coma Girl, addressed affectionately.

Mo-Mona, baby (dulang, dulang)
Coma Girl, addressed affectionately, playing the drums.

Hey-ho, yeah-ho, let it roll
Let's keep moving forward and enjoy the journey.

(Dulang, dulang)
(Sound of the drums playing).

(Dulang, dulang)
(Sound of the drums playing).
