Bat out of hell – Meatloaf
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
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
(middle)
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
(bike
noise)
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 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
And
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
Oh 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
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
