Bat Out of Hell

The sirens are screamin'

And the fires are howlin'

Way down in the valley tonight

There's a man in the shadows

With a gun in his eye

And a blade shinin' oh so bright

There's evil in the air

And there's thunder in the sky

And a killer's on the bloodshot streets

Oh and down in the tunnel

Where the deadly are rising

Oh I swear I saw a young boy

Down in the gutter

He was starting to foam in the heat

Oh baby, you're the only thing

In this whole world

That's pure and good and right

And wherever you are

And wherever you go

There's always gonna be some light

But I gotta get out

I gotta break it out now

Before the final crack of dawn

So we gotta make the most

Of our one night together

When it's over you know

We'll both be so alone

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

Oh, when the night is over

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone, gone, gone

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

But when the day is done

And the sun goes down

And the moonlight's shinin' through

Then like a sinner

Before the gates of Heaven

I'll come crawlin' on back to you

I'm gonna hit the highway

Like a battering ram

On a silver black Phantom bike

Oh, when the metal is hot

And the engine is hungry

And we're all about to see the light

Nothing ever grows

In this rotting old hole

And everything is stunted and lost

And nothing really rocks

And nothing really rolls

And nothing's ever worth the cost

And I know that I'm damned

If I never get out

And baby, I'm damned if I do

But with every other beat

I got left in my heart

You know I'd rather be damned with you

Well if I gotta be damned

You know I wanna be damned

Dancing through the night with you

Well if I gotta be damned

You know I wanna be damned

Gotta be damned

You know I wanna be damned

Gotta be damned

You know I wanna be damned

Dancing through the night

Dancing through the night

Dancing through the night with you

Oh baby, you're the only thing

In this whole world

That's pure and good and right

And wherever you are

And wherever you go

There's always gonna be some light

But I gotta get out

I gotta break it out now

Before the final crack of dawn

So we gotta make the most

Of our one night together

When it's over you know

We'll both be so alone

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

Oh when the night is over

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone, gone, gone

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

But when the day is done

And the sun goes down

And the moonlight's shining through

Then like a sinner

Before the gates of Heaven

I'll come crawling on back to you

Then like a sinner

Before the gates of Heaven

I'll come crawling on back to you

I can see myself tearin' up the road

Faster than any other boy has ever gone

Oh and my skin is raw but my soul is ripe

And no one's gonna stop me

Now I'm gonna make my escape

But I can't stop thinking of you

And I never see the sudden curve

Till it's way too late

And I never see the sudden curve

Till it's way too late

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit

In the blazin' sun

Torn and twisted

At the foot of a burnin' bike

And I think somebody somewhere

Must be tolling a bell

And the last thing I see

Is my heart, still beatin'

Breakin' out of my body

And flyin' away

Like a bat out of Hell

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit

In the blazing sun

All torn and twisted

At the foot of a burnin' bike

And I think somebody somewhere

Must be tollin' a bell

And the last thing I see

Is my heart, still beatin', still beatin'

Breakin' out of my body

And flyin' away

Like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell
