And a blade shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
And a killers 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

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 this one night together
when it's over you know
we'll both be so alone
Like a bat out of hell
