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 the 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

But when the day is done

And the sun goes down 

And moonlight's 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 got left in my heart

You know I'd rather be damned with you

Well, 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 

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 moonlight's shining through

Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven

I'll come crawling on back to you

Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven

I'll come crawling on back to you



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 one's gonna stop me now

I gotta 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 down 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

Oh 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

Still beating

Still beating

Oh 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
