Bat Out of Hell - Live

Lyrics

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
 Way down in the valley tonight
 There's a man in the shadow 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 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
 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 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
 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 moonlight's shining through
 Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
 I'll come crawling on back to you
 And like a sinner before the gates of heaven
 And like a sinner before the gates of heaven
 I'll come crawling
 Yes, 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'm gonna make my escape
 But I can't stop thinking of you
 And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late
 And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late
 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
 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
 Breaking out of my body and flying away
 Like a bat out of hell
 Oh, like a bat out of hell
 Oh, like a bat out of hell
 Oh, like a bat out of hell
 Oh, like a bat out of hell
 Oh, like a bat out of hell
 Oh, like a bat out of hell
