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

 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

 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 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

 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 got left in my heart

 You know I'd rather be damned with you

 If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned

 Dancing through the night with you

 If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned

 Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned

 If I 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 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 tearing up the road 

 Faster than any other boy has ever gone 

 And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe 

 No one's gonna stop me now 

 I gotta make my escape 

 But I can't stop thinking of you 

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

 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 

 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 

 Breaking out of my body and flying away 

 Like a bat out of hell 

 Like a bat out of hell 

 Like a bat out of hell 

 Like a bat out of hell 

 Like a bat out of hell
