The sirens are screamin' and the fires are howlin', way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye and a blade shinin' 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 risin'
Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter, he was startin' 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 outta hell, I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
But when the night is over like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
But when the day is done and the sun goes down and the moonlight's shinin' through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawlin' on back to you
I'm gonna hit the highway like a batterin' 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
Nothin' ever grows in this rottin' old hole, everything is stunted and lost
And nothin' really rocks and nothin' really rolls and nothin'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
And if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned, dancin' through the night with you
But 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
Dancin' through the night, dancin' through the night
Dancin' 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 outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
When the night is over like a bat outta hell I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat outt hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
But when the day is done and the sun goes down and the moonlight's shinin' through
Then li-ike a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawlin' on back to you
Then li-ike a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawlin' on back to you
Oh I can see myself tearin' up the road, faster - than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe
But no-one's gonna stop me now, I'm gonna make my escape
But I can't stop thinkin' of you, and I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late
And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late
Then I'm dyin' at the bottom of a pit in the blazin' sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burnin' bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tollin' a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart, still bea-eatin'
A-breakin' out of my body and flyin' away, like a bat outta hell...
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazin' sun
All torn and twisted at the foot of a burnin' bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tollin' a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart, still beatin', still beatin'
A-breakin' out of my body and flyin' away...ay
Like a bat outta hell, oh like a bat outta hell., oh like a bat outta hell
Oh like a bat outta hell! (Like a bat outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes)
Oh like a bat outta hell! (Like a bat outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes)
Oh like a bat outta hell!...
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye and a blade shinin' 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 risin'
Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter, he was startin' 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 outta hell, I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
But when the night is over like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
But when the day is done and the sun goes down and the moonlight's shinin' through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawlin' on back to you
I'm gonna hit the highway like a batterin' ram on a silver black phantom bike

And if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned, dancin' through the night with you
But 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
Dancin' through the night, dancin' through the night
Dancin' 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 outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
When the night is over like a bat outta hell I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat outt hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
But when the day is done and the sun goes down and the moonlight's shinin' through
Then li-ike a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawlin' on back to you
Then li-ike a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawlin' on back to you

Like a bat outta hell, oh like a bat outta hell., oh like a bat outta hell
Oh like a bat outta hell! (Like a bat outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes)
Oh like a bat outta hell! (Like a bat outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes)
Oh like a bat outta hell!...
