Bat Out of Hell (shortened version)

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 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
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 any 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 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
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
Tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is rough but my soul is ripe
And 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 until it�s way too late

Then I�m dying on 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
Like a bat out of hell
