Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sirens are screamin' and the fires are howlin'
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shinin' 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 risin'
Oh, I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter
He was startin' to foam in the heat
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
But like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
And when the night is over
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone, gone, gone
And 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 shinin' through
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I'll come crawlin' on back to you
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna hit the highway like a batterin' ram
On a silver black Phantom bike
And when the metal is hot, and the engine is hungry
And we're all about to see the light
Nothin' ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothin' really rocks, and nothin' really rolls
And nothin's ever worth the cost
[Verse 5]
Oh, 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
But if I gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned
Dancin' 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
Dancin' through the night, dancin' through the night
Dancing through the night with you
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
And 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 over, and the sun goes down
And the moonlight's shinin' through
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I'll come crawlin' on back to you
[Verse 8]
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I'll come crawlin' on back to you
[Verse 9]
Well, I can see myself tearin' up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
Oh, 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 thinkin' of you
And I never see the sudden curve till it's way too late
And I never see the sudden curve till it's way too late
[Verse 10]
Then I'm dyin' at the bottom of a pit in the blazin' 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 beatin'
For breakin' out of my body and flyin' away
Like a bat out of hell
Then I'm dyin' at the bottom of a pit in the blazin' sun
Whoa, torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tollin' a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart still beatin'
Still beatin'
Oh, breakin' out of my body and flyin' away
[Verse 11]
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
(Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes)
Oh, like a bat out of hell
(Oh, like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes)
Oh, like a bat out of hell
