The sirens are screaming, and the fires are howling
way down in the valley tonight.
thereand's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
and a blade shining oh so bright.
thereand's evil in the air and thereand's thunder in the sky,
and a killerand's on the bloodshot streets.
and down in the tunnels 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.
Pre-chorus
oh, baby youand're the only thing in this whole world
thatand's pure and good and right.
and wherever you are and wherever you go
thereand's always gonna be some light,
but i gotta get out, i gotta break out now
before the final crack of dawn.
so we gotta make the most of our one night together
when itand's over, you know,
weand'll both be so alone.
Chorus
like a bat out of hell iand'll be gone when the morning comes.
when the night is over, like a bat out of hell, iand'll be gone, gone, gone.
like a bat out of hell iand'll be gone when the morning comes.
but when the day is done
and the sun goes down
and the moonlightand's shining through.
then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
iand'll come crawling on back to you.
Iand'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 weand're all about to see the light.
nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole,
and everything is stunted and lost.
and nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls,
and nothingand's ever worth the cost.
Well i know that iand'm damned if i never get out,
and maybe iand'm damned if i do,
but with every other beat iand've got left in my heart,
you know i wanna be damned with you.
if i gotta be damned, you know i wanna be damned
dancing 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
dancing through the night,
dancing through the night,
dancing through the night with you
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Well 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 oneand's gonna stop me now, iand'm gonna make my escape.
but i canand't stop thinking of you,
and i never see the sudden curve until itand's way too late.
and i never see the sudden curve until itand's way too late.
Then iand'm down in 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 iand'm down in 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...
like a bat out of hell
like a bat out of hell
like a bat out of hell........
