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 killers 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
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 Well 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
Oh! 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 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
When I never see the sudden curve until 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
All 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...
Oh! 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
