Bat Out of Hell (Live In US)

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows 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)
(Oh 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)

(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 rotting 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)
(If I 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 moonlights 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
I'll come crawling on back (to you)

Oh I can see myself Heaven up the Lord
(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 until it's way too late!)

(And I never see the sudden curve 'till 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 soul!)
(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!)
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!
