about

This is Bat Out of Hell - Unplugged. Jim Steinman's song stripped down to its purest form - a voice and a guitar. Imagine Strat as a balladeer journeying through a post-apocalyptic future with just a guitar strapped to his back. Happy Halloween and ROCK ON!

lyrics

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
