Bat Out of Hell (album 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 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 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

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

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'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 'til 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
Oh, like a bat out of hell!
Like a bat out of hell!
Like a bat out of hell!
