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.

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.



[Chorus]

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.



[Chorus]



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

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
