Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell

Lyrics

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

And down in the tunnels 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 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

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 rotting old hole,

And everything is stunted and lost

And nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls,

And nothing's ever worth the cost

Well 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 want to be damned with you

If I gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned

Dancing through the night with you/

Well if I gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned,

Gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned

Gotta be damned, you know I want to 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 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

Well 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 until it's way too late

And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late

Then I'm down in 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 down in 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 still beating

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 (I'll be gone when the morning comes)

Oh, like a bat out of hell (I'll be gone when the morning comes)

Oh, like a bat out of hell
