[00:09.75]The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling,
[00:12.33]way down in the valley tonight.
[00:15.06]There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye,
[00:18.12]and a blade shining oh so bright.
[00:20.85]There's evil in the air and there's thunder in sky,
[00:23.82]and A killer's on the bloodshot streets.
[00:28.17]Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising,
[00:30.90]Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter,
[00:33.66]He was starting to foam in the heat.
[00:42.24]Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world,
[00:45.09]that's pure and good and right.
[00:47.97]And wherever you are and wherever you go,
[00:49.47]there's always gonna be some light.
[00:52.11]But I gotta get out,
[00:53.46]I gotta break it out now,
[00:54.96]Before the final crack of dawn.
[00:59.13]So we gotta make the most of our one night together.
[01:02.10]When it's over you know,
[01:03.66]We'll both be so alone.
[01:10.59]Like a bat out of hell
[01:11.97]I'll be gone when the morning comes.
[01:13.62]When the night is over
[01:17.52]Like a bat out of hell
[01:19.17]I'll be gone gone gone.
[01:19.59]Like a bat out of hell
[01:23.43]I'll be gone when the morning comes.
[01:27.69]But when the day is done and the sun goes down,
[01:30.03]and the moonlights shining through,
[01:30.69]Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,
[01:32.04]I'll come crawling on back to you.
[01:52.98]I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram,
[01:55.56]on a silver black phantom bike.
[01:58.23]When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry,
[02:01.02]and we're all about to see the light.
[02:03.93]Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole.
[02:06.84]Everything is stunted and lost.
[02:10.59]And nothing really rocks
[02:12.06]And nothing really rolls
[02:13.98]And nothing's ever worth the cost.
[02:15.18]And I know that I'm damned if I never get out,
[02:19.86]And maybe I'm damned if I do,
[02:23.16]But with every other beat I've got left in my heart,
[02:27.21]You know I'd rather be damned with you.
[02:30.27]If I gotta be damned you know I wanns be damned,
[02:33.21]dancing through the night with you.
[02:35.97]If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned.
[02:39.06]Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned.
[02:41.85]If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned,
[02:44.43]Dancing through the night
[02:45.87]Dancing through the night
[02:47.28]Dancing through the night with you.
[03:07.56]Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world,
[03:10.32]that's pure and good and right.
[03:14.22]And wherever you are and wherever you go,
[03:15.93]there's always gonna be some light.
[03:18.48]But I gotta get out,
[03:19.77]I gotta break it out now,
[03:21.42]Before the final crack of dawn.
[03:25.32]So we gotta make the most of our one night together.
[03:28.17]When it's over you know,
[03:29.73]We'll both be so alone.
[03:36.33]Like a bat out of hell
[03:37.62]I'll be gone when the morning comes.
[03:38.94]When the night is over
[03:39.36]Like a bat out of hell
[03:42.75]I'll be gone gone gone.
[03:43.14]Like a bat out of hell
[03:47.43]I'll be gone when the morning comes.
[03:52.44]But when the day is done and the sun goes down,
[03:55.56]and the moonlights shining through,
[03:56.82]Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,
[03:59.58]I'll come crawling on back to you.
[04:00.18]I can see myself tearing up the road,
[04:00.90]Faster than any other boy has ever gone.
[04:01.83]And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe.
[04:03.00]No-one's gonna stop me now,
[04:04.86]I gotta make my escape.
[04:05.40]But I can't stop thinking of you,
[04:06.06]and I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late.
[04:07.65]I never see the sudden curve 'till it's way too late.
[04:09.06]Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun.
[04:12.30]Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike.
[04:14.04]And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
[04:15.18]And the last thing I see is my heart,
[04:15.99]Still beating,
[04:16.29]Breaking out of my body,
[04:16.80]And flying away,
[04:17.13]Like a bat out of hell.
[04:17.88]Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun.
[04:19.41]Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike.
[04:21.96]And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
[04:23.97]And the last thing I see is my heart.
[04:24.69]Still beating, still beating,
[04:25.23]Breaking out of my body and flying away,
[04:26.10]Like a bat out of hell.
[04:26.52]Like a bat out of hell.
[04:26.94]Like a bat out of hell.
[04:27.39]Oh like a bat out of hell!
[04:27.87]Oh like a bat out of hell!
[04:28.32]Like a bat out of hell!
