Bat Out of Hell

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling

Way down in the valley tonight

There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye

And a blade shining 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 shining through

Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven

I'll come crawling on back to you

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram

On a silver-black phantom bike

When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry

And we're all about to see the light

Nothing ever grows in this rotten 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 maybe I'm damned if I do

But with every other beat I've 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

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

Oh, I can see myself tearing up the road

Faster than any other boy has ever gone

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 blazing sun

Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike

And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell

And the last thing I see is my heart still beating

Breaking out of my body and flying away

Like a bat out of Hell

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun

Oh, torn and twisted at the foot a burning bike

And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell

And the last thing I see is my heart still beating

Still beating

Breaking out of my body and flying 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

(Like a bat out of Hell I'll be gone when the morning comes)

Like a bat out of Hell

(Like a bat out of Hell I'll be gone when the morning comes)

Oh, like a bat out of Hell
