Lyrics of Bat Out Of Hell (Live Feb2004) by Meat Loaf

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
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
We gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone

chorus

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
Oh

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 really rocks
And nothing really rolls
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
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
We gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone

chorus

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
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
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

bridge

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
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

pre-chorus

Still beating, still beating
Oh, breaking out of my body and flying away

chorus

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
(I'll be gone when the morning comes)
Like a bat out of hell
(I'll be gone when the morning comes)
Like a bat out of hell
(I'll be gone when the morning comes)
Like a bat out of hell
