intro
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
Killer's on the bloodshot street
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
verse
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
Before the final crack of dawn
We gotta make the most of our one night together
chorus
I'll be gone when the morning comes
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
verse
I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering 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
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole
Everything is stunted and lost
And nothing's ever worth the cost
verse
And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do
Oh, with every other beat I've got left in my heart
You know I'd rather be damned with you
Gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
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
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
Before the final crack of dawn
We gotta make the most of our one night together
chorus
I'll be gone when the morning comes
I'll be gone when the morning comes
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
Oh, oh, and like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
bridge
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
No one's gonna stop me now
But I can't stop thinking of you
And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late
verse
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
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
chorus
(Oh, like a bat out of hell)
(Oh, like a bat out of hell)
(I'll be gone when the morning comes)
(I'll be gone when the morning comes)
(I'll be gone when the morning comes)
