Oh baby you're the only thing in this old 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
When the day is done and the sun goes down and the moon is 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 and 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
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 old 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
When the day is done and the sun goes down and the moon is 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'm gonna make my escape
But I can't stop thinking 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 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
Still beating
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 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

- Meat Loaf

(I have both of the "Bat..." albums on CD. Sitting back and playing them is a great way to relax.)
