Meatloaf: Bat out of Hell
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Bat out of Hell -
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
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 the 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 rotten 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 last beat I 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 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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
Still beating
|
|
Breaking out of my body
|

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
|
|
Like a bat out of hell

- You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth -
|
|
|
|
It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
|
|
There was fog crawling over the sand
|
|
When I listen to your heart I hear the whole world turning
|
|
I see the shooting stars
|
|
Falling through your trembling hands
|
|
|
|
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
|
|
I was dying just to ask for a taste
|
|
We were lying together in a silver lining
|
|
By the light of the moon
|
|
You know there's not another moment
|
|
Not another moment
|
|
Not another moment to waste
|
|
|
|
You hold me so close that my knees grow weak
|
|
But my soul is flying high above the ground
|
|
I'm trying to speak but no matter what I do
|
|
I just can't seem to make any sound
|
|
|
|
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
|
|
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
|
|
You took the words right out of my mouth
|
|
And I swear it's true
|
|
I was just about to say I love you
|
|
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
|
|
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
|
|
You took the words right out of my mouth
|
|
And I swear it's true
|
|
I was just about to say I love you
|
|
|
|
Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
|
|
And I guess that I'm beginning to grin
|
|
Oooh, we're finally alone and we cn do what we want to
|
|
THe night is young
|
|
And ain't no one gonna know where you
|
|
No one gonna know where you
|
|
No one's gonna know where you've been
|
|
|
|
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
|
|
I was dying just to ask for a taste
|
|
We were lying together in a silver lining
|
|
By the light of the moon
|
|
You know there's not another moment
|
|
Not another moment
|
|
Not another moment to waste
|
|
|
|
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
|
|
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
|
|
You took the words right out of my mouth
|
|
And I swear it's true
|
|
I was just about to say I love you
|
|
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
|
|
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
|
|
You took the words right out of my mouth
|
|
And I swear it's true
|
|
I was just about to say I love you

- Heaven Can Wait -
|
|
|
|
Heaven can wait
|
|
And a band of angels wrapped up in my heart
|
|
Will take me through the lonely night
|
|
Through the cold of the day
|
|
And I know
|
|
I know
|
|
Heaven can wait
|
|
And all the gods come down here just to sing for me
|
|
And the melody's gonna make me fly
|
|
Without pain
|
|
Without fear
|
|
|
|
Give me all of your dreams
|
|
And let me go along on your way
|
|
Give me all ofyour prayers to sing
|
|
And I'll turn the night into the skylight of day
|
|
I got a taste of paradise
|
|
I'm never gonna let it slip away
|
|
I got a taste of paradise
|
|
It's all I really need to make me stay --
|
|
Just like a child again
|
|
|
|
Heaven can wait
|
|
And all I got is time until the end of time
|
|
I won't look back
|
|
I won't look back
|
|
Let the altars shine
|
|
|
|
And I know that I've been released
|
|
But I don't know to where
|
|
And nobody's gonna tell me now
|
|
And I don't really care
|
|
No no no
|
|
I got a taste of paradise
|
|
That's all I really need to make me stay
|
|
I got a taste of paradise
|
|
If I had it any sooner you konw
|
|
You know I never would have run away from my home
|
|
|
|
Heaven can wait
|
|
And all I got is time until the end of time
|
|
I won't look back
|
|
I won't look back
|
|
Let the altars shine
|
|
|
|
Heaven can wait
|
|
Heaven can wait
|
|
I won't look back
|
|
I won't look back
|
|
Let the altars shine
|
|
Let the altars shine

- All Revved up with no Place to go -
|
|
|
|
I was nothing but a lonely boy
|
|
looking for something new
|
|
And you were nothing but a lonely girl
|
|
But you were something
|
|
Something like a dream come true
|
|
|
|
I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
|
|
When I played my guitar
|
|
I made the canyons rock but
|
|
Every Saturday night
|
|
I felt the fever grow

Do you know what it's like
|
|
All revved up with no place to go
|
|
|
|
I was out on the prowl down by the edge of the track
|
|
And like a son of a jackal
|
|
I'm the leader of the pack but
|
|
Every Saturday night
|
|
I felt the fever grow

Do you know what it's like

Do you know what it's like

All revved up with no place to go
|

|
|
Oh baby I'm a hunter in the dark of the forest
|
|
I've been stalking you and tracking you down
|
|
Cruising up and down the main drag all night long
|
|
We could be standing at the top of the world
|
|
Instead of sinking further down in the mud
|
|
You and me round about midnight
|
|
You and me round about midnight
|
|
Someone's got to draw first
|
|
|
|
Draw first
|
|
Someone's got to draw first blood

Someone's got to draw first blood

Ooh I got to draw first blood

I was nothing but a lonely all-American boy

- Two out of Three Ain't Bad -
|
|
|
|
Baby we can talk all night
|
|
But that ain't getting us nowhere
|
|
I told you everything I possibly can
|
|
There's nothing left inside of here
|
|
|
|
And maybe you can cry all night
|
|
But that ain't getting us nowhere
|
|
The snow is really piling up outside
|
|
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
|
|
|
|
I poured it on and I poured it out
|
|
I tried to show you just how much I care
|
|
I'm tired of words and I'm to hoarse to shout
|
|
But you've been cold to me so long
|
|
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
|
|
|
|
And all I can do is keep on telling you
|
|
I want you
|
|
I need you
|
|
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
|
|
Now dont' be sad
|
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
|
Now don't be sad
|
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
|
|
|
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
|
|
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
|
|
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
|
|
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom
|
|
of a Cracker Jack box
|
|
|
|
I can't lie
|
|
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
|
|
No matter how I try
|
|
I'll never be able
|
|
To give you something
|
|
Something that I just haven't got
|
|
|
|
There's only one girl that I will ever love
|
|
And that was many years ago
|
|
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
|
|
She never loved me back
|
|
Oooh I know
|
|
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
|
|
She kissed me and got out of our bed
|
|
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to
|
|
walk out that door
|
|
She packed her bags and turned right away
|
|
|
|
And she kept on telling me
|
|
She kept on telling me
|
|
She kept on tellng me
|
|
I want you
|
|
I need you
|
|
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
|
|
Now don't be sad
|
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
|
I want you
|
|
I need you
|
|
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
|
|
Now don't be sad
|
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
|
Don't be sad
|
|
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
|
|
|

Baby we can talk all night
|
|
But that ain't getting us nowhere

|
I couldn't take it any longer

|
Lord I was crazed

Like a tidal wave

I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave

|
That I would love you to the end of time
|
|
I swore that I would love you to the end of time
|
|
|
|
So now I'm praying for the end of time
|

To hurry up and arrive
|

Cause if I spend another minute with you

I don't think that I can really survive

|
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
|
|
But God only knows what I can do right now

It never felt so good
|
|
It never felt so right
|
|
And we were glowing like
|
|
A metal on the edge of a knife
|
|
|
|
|
|
- For Crying Out Loud -
|
|
|
|
I was lost till you were found
|
|
But I never knew how far down
|
|
I was falling
|
|
Before I reached the bottom
|
|
|
|
I was cold and you were fire
|
|
And I never knew how the pyre
|
|
Could be burning
|
|
On the edge of the ice field
|
|
|
|
And now the chilly California wind
|
|
Is blowing down our bodies again
|
|
And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the
|
|
chilly California sand
|
|
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
|
|
And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart
|
|
And don't you hear me crying:
|
|
"Oh, Babe don't go"
|
|
And don't you hear me screaming:
|
|
"How was I to know?"
|
|
|
|
I'm in the middle of nowhere
|
|
Near the end of time
|
|
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
|
|
And there's a tankful of time
|
|
Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
|
|
And take me to another land where I don't have to stay
|
|
And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
|
|
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
|
|
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
|
|
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
You know I love you
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
You know I love you
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
You know I love you
|
|
|
|
I was damned and you were saved
|
|
And I never knew how enslaved
|
|
I was kneeling
|
|
In the chains of my master
|
|
|
|
I could laugh but you could cry
|
|
And I never knew just how high
|
|
I was flying
|
|
Ah, with you right above me
|
|
|
|
And now the chilly California wind
|
|
Is blowing down our bodies again
|
|
And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the
|
|
chilly California sand
|
|
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
|
|
And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart
|
|
And don't you hear me crying:
|
|
"Oh, Babe don't go"
|
|
And don't you hear me screaming:
|
|
"How was I to know?"
|
|
|
|
I'm in the middle of nowhere
|
|
Near the end of time
|
|
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
|
|
And there's a tankful of time
|

Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

|
|
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
You know I love you
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
You know I love you
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
You know I love you
|
|
|
|
For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
|
|
For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
|
|
My oh my
|
|
For that I thank you
|
|
|
|
For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold
|
|
For giving me a child when my body is old
|
|
Don't you know
|
|
For that I need you
|
|
|
|
For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
|
|
For finding me a highway and for driving my home
|
|
You got to know
|
|
For that I want you
|
|
|
|
For taking and for giving and for playing the game
|
|
For praying for my future in the days that remain
|
|
Oh Lord
|
|
For that I hold you
|
|
|
|
Ah, but most of all
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
For that I love you
|
|
Ah, but most of all
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
For that I love you
|
|
Ah, but most of all
|
|
For crying out loud
|
|
For that I love you
|
|
|
|
When you're crying out loud
|
|
You know I love you
|
|
|
