MEAT LOAF

MEAT LOAF - Bat Out Of Hell lyrics

rate me

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 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(x3)

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

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(x2)

I can see myself

Tearing up the road

Faster than any other boy has ever gone

And my skin is rough 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

Then I'm dying on 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

x2
