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 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 And when the night is over Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone And 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 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 And 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 Well 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 But If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Dancing through the night with you Well 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 And when the night is over Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone And 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 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 Well I can see myself tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever gone Oh 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 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 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 Whahhh, 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 Oh like a bat out of hell Oh like a bat out of hell Oh like a bat out of hell Oh like a bat out of hell Oh like a bat out of hell Oh like a bat out of hell

And I would do anything for love I'd run right into hell and back Oh I would do anything for love I'll never lie to you and that's a fact But I'll never forget the way you feel right now Oh no no way And I would do anything for love But I won't do that No I won't do that And some days it don't come easy And some days it don't come hard Some days it don't come at all And these are the days that never end And some nights you're breathing fire And some nights you're carved in ice Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before Or will again And maybe I'm crazy Oh it's crazy and it's true I know you can save me No one else can save me now but you As long as the planets are turning As long as the stars are burning As long as your dreams are coming true You better believe it That I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love But I won't do that No no no I wont do... I would do anything for love Anything you've been dreaming of But I just won't do I would do anything for love Anything you've been dreaming of But I just won't do I would do anything for love Anything you've been dreaming of But I just won't do that And somedays I pray for silence And somedays I pray for soul Somedays I just pray to the Gods of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll And maybe I'm lonely That's all I'm qualified to be There's just one and only The one and only promise I can keep As long as the wheels are turning As long as the fires are burning As long as your prayers are coming true You better believe it That I would do anything for love And you know it's true and that's a fact Oh I would do anything for love And there'll never be no turning back But I'll never do it better then I do it with you So strong So long And I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that No I won't do that

It was a hot summer night And the beach was burning There was fog crawling over the sand Oh, when I listen to your heart I hear the whole world turning I see the shooting stars falling Through your trembling hands Well you were licking your lips And your lipstick shining I was dying just to ask for a taste Oh we were lying together in a silver lining By the the light of the moon You know there's not another moment Not another moment Not another moment to waste Oh well 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 Oh 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 Oh and I swear it's true I was just about to say I love you And now my body is shaking like a wave on the water And I guess that I'm beginning to grin Oh we're finally alone and we can do what we wanna Oh the night is young Ain't no one gonna know where No one gonna know where No one's gonna know where you've been Aw you were licking your lips And your lipstick shining I was dying just to ask for a taste Oh we were lying together in a silver lining By the the light of the moon You know there's 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 Oh and I swear it's true I was just about to say I love you Oh yeah 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 Oh 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 you took the words right out of my mouth Hey you took the words right out of my mouth Oh you took the words right out of my mouth Hey you took the words right out of my mouth Oh you took the words right out of my mouth Hey hey took the words right out of my mouth You took the words right out of my mouth 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 Oh it must have been while you were kissing me 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 Oh it must have been while you were Must have been while you were Must have been while you were Must have been while you were kissing me yeah

about

This is "The Bat Unplugged EP" - housing all the previous releases in one place.

These are Jim Steinman's songs stripped down to their purest form - a voice and a guitar. Imagine Strat as a balladeer traveling across a post-apocalyptic world with just a guitar strapped to his back searching for love that glows like the metal on the edge of a knife.

This EP honors the genius songwriter himself. You are missed dearly Jim. Thank you for all of your amazing, healing music.
