Bat Out of Hell Lyrics
[01:54.84] The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
[01:57.31] Way down in the valley tonight
[02:00.39] There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
[02:03.35] And a blade shining, oh, so bright
[02:06.02] There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
[02:08.93] And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
[02:12.95] Oh, and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
[02:15.89] Oh, I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter
[02:18.84] He was starting to foam in the heat
[02:22.99]
[02:26.08] Oh, baby, you're the only thing in this whole world
[02:28.84] That's pure and good and right
[02:31.64] And wherever you are and wherever you go
[02:34.69] There's always gonna be some light
[02:37.29] But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now
[02:40.35] Before the final crack of dawn
[02:44.54] So we gotta make the most of our one night together
[02:47.31] When it's over you know we'll both be so alone
[02:55.93] Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes
[03:01.66] Oh, when the night is over, like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone
[03:07.35] Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes
[03:13.05] But when the day is done and the sun goes down
[03:16.30] And the moonlight's shinin' through
[03:20.26] Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
[03:26.60] I'll come crawlin' on back to you
[03:32.93]
[03:38.59] I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
[03:41.16] On a silver black Phantom bike
[03:43.78] Oh, when the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
[03:46.57] And we're all about to see the light
[03:49.52] Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole
[03:52.42] And everything is stunted and lost
[03:56.27] And nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls
[03:59.16] And nothing's ever worth the cost
[04:03.24] And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
[04:06.26] And baby, I'm damned if I do
[04:08.71] But with every other beat I got left in my heart
[04:12.96] You know I'd rather be damned with you
[04:15.78] Well if I gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned
[04:18.86] Dancing through the night with you
[04:21.56] Well if I gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned
[04:24.83] Gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned
[04:27.64] Gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned
[04:30.30] Dancing through the night, dancing through the night
[04:33.08] Dancing through the night with you
[04:37.49]
[04:53.45] Oh baby, you're the only thing in this whole world
[04:56.29] That's pure and good and right
[04:58.83] And wherever you are and wherever you go
[05:01.99] There's always gonna be some light
[05:04.41] But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now
[05:07.57] Before the final crack of dawn
[05:11.35] So we gotta make the most of our one night together
[05:14.36] When it's over you know we'll both be so alone
[05:22.13] Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes
[05:27.65] Oh, when the night is over, like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone
[05:33.23] Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes
[05:38.62] But when the day is done and the sun goes down
[05:41.84] And the moonlight's shining through
[05:45.30] Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
[05:50.90] I'll come crawling on back to you
[05:57.01] Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
[06:04.12] I'll come crawling on back to you
[06:17.20]
[06:52.93] Oh, I can see myself tearing up the road
[06:56.29] Faster than any other boy has ever gone
[07:04.08] Oh, and my skin is raw but my soul is ripe
[07:06.87] And no one's gonna stop me now, I'm gonna make my escape
[07:12.25] But I can't stop thinking of you
[07:14.60] And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late
[07:22.25]
[07:30.83] And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late
[07:39.04] Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
[07:45.86] Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
[07:51.89] And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
[07:58.38] And the last thing I see is my heart still beating
[08:06.40] Breaking out of my body and flying away
[08:10.59] Like a bat out of hell
[08:14.36] Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
[08:20.54] All torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
[08:26.69] And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
[08:33.19] And the last thing I see is my heart still beating
[08:39.23] Still beating
[08:42.20] Oh, breakin' out of my body and flyin' away
[08:47.87] Like a bat out of hell
[08:50.89] Oh, like a bat out of hell
[08:53.87] Oh, like a bat out of hell
[08:58.29] Oh, like a bat out of hell (I'll be gone when the morning comes)
