Bat Out Of Hell Lyrics
by Meat Loaf

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 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 the moonlights 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´ve got left in my heart,
You know I´d rather be damned with you.
If I gotta be damned you know I wanns 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 I 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,
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 the moonlights shining through,
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,
I´ll come crawling on back to you.

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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
Oh like a bat out of hell!
Oh like a bat out of hell!
Like a 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 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,

Oh like a bat out of hell!
Oh like a bat out of hell!
