Альбом Meat Loaf

Well, goodbye my friend it was good to know you,
I hope you understand,
Twenty-one years and I ain't got nothing,
But sitting, wondering if I can,
Wishing and dreaming, Hoping and reaching,
For things I was never meant to have,
If my foolish life's a product of my gross misconceptions,
Who's gonna give a damn?

I don't want,
Peace on earth,
I just want to go,
I just want to go home.

I know I never was much more than you expected,
I expect I won't disappoint,
But my dreams were not as hollow as the empty world I saw though,
I guess I never did get the point,
Life cannot just be the only option left,
The only thing you can count on in this world in regret.

I don't want,
Peace on earth,
I just want to go,
I just want to go home.

Right world, wrong time
and they say to me, "Hang cool teddy bear"

Best thing to do,
We'll just feed them fear,
Get them thinking about there,
And forgetting about here,
We won't try to fight,
We won't try to win,
When they knock you down
You gotta get back up again

I don't wanna be an end,
For someone else's dirty hand,
To rape the desert of it's sand,
And pluck the fertile, virgin land,
I don't wanna be.
But I'm not so self-righteous to think that I,
Would not take one hundred thousand lives,
To see my mother's eyes,
And trace that southern smile,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
I don't want too much more than a working man deserves,
Just a life worth living and a death worth dying for.

I don't want,
Peace on earth,
I just want to go home.

I don't want,
Peace on earth,
I just want to go home.
I just want to go home.
I just want to go home.
I just want to go home.

I don't want,
Peace on earth

I've got steel on my fingers
Granite on my breathe
A bottle in one ear
And a spike in my chest

A nickel in my boot
And my finger in a dam
I hang out with a bunch
Of losers I call my friends
And we sing

Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh

But I'm headin' out today
I'm goin' down Elijah's way
Spinnin' wheels on fire
With my speed needle between my jeans
So darlin' show me what you're hiding
Behind that ring
Behind your pink silhouette, young lust balcony

Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me

We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They won't even know we're gone
I got mama's smile and my daddy's gun
You got your honest face and your liars tongue

Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby

Runnin' like the only sinners left
Lovin' like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left alive
Livin' on the outside

I've got one shot to steal this world
If you wanna go with me you can be my girl
Here's a bullet for your thoughts
And a penny for the train
Next time I'm here they'll be diggin' my grave

Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me

We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They won't even know we're gone
I got mama's smile and my daddy's gun
You got your honest face and your liars tongue

Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby

Runnin' like the only sinners left
Lovin' like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left alive

Livin' on the outside
Livin' on the outside
Livin' on the outside
Livin' on the outside
Livin' on the outside

If I gotta go then I'm goin' in style
You're gonna find me rinnin' down that calvary mile
A beggar's son on a potter's tree

Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me

We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They don't even know we're gone
I got my mama's smile and my daddy's gun
Bring your honest face and your liars tongue

Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby

Runnin' like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left
Lovin' like the only sinners left alive
Livin' on the outside

I wrote you this poem
I'd like to dedicate it to you

I'm just a white boy
I play the guitar
I put my pants on
I drive a shit car
Up into the valley
To see my girlfriend
She's got a big couch
She's got a Mercedes Benz

Sing hallelujah
My glass is half full
She pours me champagne
She drinks a Red Bull
And she says 'darling
One thing thing you got to understand
As long as I am satisfied
Well, you will always be my man

You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll empty all my pockets and I give you what I can
You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll give you all the love that I can

Los Angeloser
Los Angeloser
Los Angeloser
I'll give you all the love that I can

Oh yeah
We got the sunshine
We got the good friends
We (do-si-do) and all the time
Out in the wilderness
She always looks fine
She's gonna be the one to make it
And I'll be two steps behind

You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll empty all my pockets and I give you what I can
You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll give you all the love that I can

Los Angeloser
Los Angeloser
Los Angeloser
I'll give you all the love that I can

Now check this out
I say this
I say this with the deepest appreciation for all you ladies out there
Especially the ones who've shown a little love for someone such as myself
You believed in me
Loved me
...
If it wasn't for you
There would be no... me

I thank you baby
The way you save me
I would repay you
But I'm too lazy

I thank you baby
The way you save me
I would repay you
But I'm too lazy

You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll empty all my pockets and I give you what I can
You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll give you all the love that I have
I wrote you this poem
I'd like to dedicate it to you

To say it's love would be too simple
Too obvious
It's more like a calling, a vocation
Something I was
Put on this earth to do
Now I'm shooting with the stars
And I'm flying with the angels
And my heartbeat is a symphony the
Closer I get to you
I never saw you comin' till you
Came and here you are
I never thought someone
Would ever dare
To come this far
You're up for the resistance
And I'm strong in my persistence
And I've never known
A remedy like ours
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
I would be a river dried up
Into dust
I would be imprisoned
For ever having loved
If I can't have you
I don't wanna be me
Then I would be the same man
You scraped off the ground
I'd have to go back bein'
That broken soul you found
Those days are in the darkness
I buried them with hardness
And I'd have to dig those
Demons out
Your life is like anchor that puts
Me in my place
No you won't let me sink when
I'm off losin' my way
Thank God for your virtue
And the wisdom in your eye
Cause somehow you
Get through on
All that crazy in my mind
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
I would be a river
Dried up into dust
I would be imprisoned for never
Having loved
If I can't have you
I don't wanna be me
I don't wanna be me
Why did it take you so long to
Finally see
That we had love
That you don't find easily
You broke my heart and the price
To pay for that
Is you'll have to live the misery of
Losing what you had
If I can't have you
My words have come to late
I've already turned that page
Don't you look at me back and
That's the part I hate
I'll stay trapped inside my hell
Where it's so hot
That my walls melt
And I can hear a promise
In every lie you said
You'd never tell
If I had only told the truth
Oh I could never trust you to
You'll survive
No I will die
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
Then I'm sorry for the things I
Cost you in the end
My punishment is more than any
Man can stand
I need you in my life
I can't let go
Why don't you stay with me
Tonight
I feel alone
Turn off all the lights
Take me home
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
Then I would be a river
Dried up into dust
I would be imprisoned
For ever having loved
If I can't have you
I don't wanna be me
To say it's love would be too simple

There have been many sightings
Of love in truth
The skeptic in me longs for
To see of love some proof
Only for you does this happen
Only for you do I care
Love is not real
Love is a hoax
It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
It's somewhere far
No man I've ever known's
Come close
It can be vicious, heartless,
Dire and cruel
In spite of my mind, my heart longs
To find fire and fuel
Only for you do I do this
Only for you do I care
Love is not real
Love is a hoax
It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
I's somewhere far
No man I've ever known's
Come close
My girlfriend doesn't want
To know me
And my friends think
I've lost the plot
I have become a liability
I got to do something
But I don't know what
I'm hearing voices and
I can't see straight
I think I might be going insane
Can't make my own decisions
And I just can't wait
To mess it all up again
I never thought that
I would succeed
Beyond the wildest dreams
I've ever dreamt
But everything's become so
Hackneyed
Familiarity only breeds contempt
I'm ruining your life
I'm bored with mine
I'm acting like I couldn't care less
Another bottle and another line
Another strange to undress
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face
When you forget
What you cannot forgive
The terms are so much easier to
Come to with
When we look at what
We're going through
And desaturate
Until everything is simple
Love or hate
Lover or hate
I have been searching my soul
I've seen the brightest star
I've seen the blackest hole
I've found a way to cope with every
Twist of fate
Now everything is simple
Love or hate
Love or hate
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face
And when that love comes crawling
Back to me to say
I've been away
Now please let me stay with the
No way
Never again will I do this
Never again will I care
Love is not real
Love is a hoax
It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
It's just a dream
I've had so many night's alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
It's somewhere far
No man I've ever known's
Come close

You better pray she took her morning medication
Or you might have to pick her up at the police station
Coz if there's trouble in this town, you know she's gonna find it
She's like the devil in a short skirt but I don't mind it
Everybody thinks I'm crazy, but they don't even know

She's kinda like a rose
She'll cut you on the your thumb
She'll kick you when you're low
And fuck you when she's done
The bitch is like a rose
And let me tell you son
That every time you think you've got control
Sh-sh-she got it

Maybe I'm a victim of infatuation
You know that hot-blooded girl's got my inspiration
Yeah it doesn't really matter that she isn't 21
Coz she's always backstage when the band gets done
Everybody thinks I'm crazy, but they don't even know

She's kinda like a rose
She'll cut you on the your thumb
She'll kick you when you're low
And fuck you when she's done
The bitch is like a rose
And let me tell you son
That every time you think you've got control
Sh-sh-she got it

She got jagged edges and a dirty mouth
(What a lady)
She got everything that I don't wanna live without
She's kinda like a rose
She's kinda like a rose

She's kinda like a rose
And you might wanna run
Coz even when she's cold
She's burnin like the sun
The bitch is like a rose
And smokin like a gun
Don't care if you don't like her
I love her
I love her
She's kinda like a rose

She's kinda like a rose
She'll cut you on the your thumb
She'll kick you when you're low
And fuck you when she's done
The bitch is like a rose
And let me tell you son
That every time you think you've got control
Every time you think you've got control
Sh-sh-she got it

I dreamed there was a magic song
I played for the queen 'neath the golden throne
My heart flowed through my broken voice to her
The queen did smile and she did cry
My fingers bled a thousand lives
A red-teared river flowed our lives between us
Her majesties tears and the pauper's blood
An angel's breath and the devil's touch
The song of madness madly cryin' to her
You're a wolf in a lambs disguise
A cold lover with a warm invite
Mornin' gonna carry us to our grave
Dream a dream in agony
Sweetest dream you'll ever see
Make my dream reality
Oh carry me
Carry me to my grave
She placed the blade within the king's throne
And in mine did I place my own
With the lamb's blood we purchased our sins pardon
The sky ripped open and the shadows bled
The moon blew out and the stars burned red
The song of madness madly cryin' to her
On a night such as this
An angel's lips and the devil's kiss
Mornin' gonna carry us to our grave
Dream a dream in agony
The sweetest dream you'll ever see
Make my dream reality and carry me
Carry me to my grave
Oh carry me
Carry me to my grave
The song of madness madly cryin' to her
The song of madness shot like lightning through us
The song of madness madly cryin' to her
Madness
Madness
Madness
My God my Queen just lie to me
Make me believe that I am king and by morning
You're a wolf in a lamb's disguise
A cold lover with a warm invite
Mornin' gonna carry us to our grave
Dream a dream in agony
The sweetest dream you'll ever see
Make my dream reality and carry me
Oh carry e
Carry me to my grave
Carry me to my grave
Carry me
Carry me to my grave

Did you ever love somebody
So much that the earth moved
Did you ever love somebody
Even though it hurt to
Did you ever love somebody
Nothin' else your heart could do
Did you ever love somebody
Who never knew
Did you ever lay your head down
On the shoulder of a good friend
And then had to look away somehow
Had to hide the way you felt for them
Have you ever prayed the day would come
You'd hear them say they'd feel it too
Have you ever loved somebody
Who never knew
And if
And if
You did
You did
Well you know I'd understand
I could
I could
I would
More than anybody can
Did you ever love somebody
So much that the earth moved
Did you ever love somebody
Even though it hurt to
Did you ever love somebody
Nothin' else your heart could do
Did you ever love somebody
Like I love you
Like I love you

We were just good friends
But we dreamed we could be lovers
Damned if ya don't, damned if ya do
I always promised you
The earth and you were right to ask it

California isn't big enough for me

I swallowed the end of the world with my problems
Thought maybe a girl could solve 'em
Don't let anyone in
I'm stuck with these sins
I'm hoping maybe time can absolve 'em
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed to run free
Well that's all through
Thought I was runnin' from you
Turns out I was runnin' from me
La, La, La La, La, La
Runnin' away from me
La, La, La La, La, La
Runnin' from me
There's a girl who lives on my street
She said the flowers take care of the bees
She says she'll bring me a shore
Cause Daddy's at war
She's gonna take care of me
If history is violence and sex
I'd rather not pay my respects
If I've caused offense
I'm just trying to talk sense
Forgive me if I'm too direct
Or politically incorrect
La, La, La La, La, La
Runnin' away from me
La, La, La La, La, La
Runnin' away from me
Turns out I was runnin' from me
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed to run free
All that's through
Thought I was runnin' from you
Turns out I was runnin' from me
Turns out I was runnin' from me
La, La, La La, La, La
Runnin' away from me
La, La, La La, La, La
Runnin' away from me
Runnin' away from me
Runnin' away from me
Runnin' away from me
Runnin' away from me

Lie tell me a lie
Tell me you'd like to stay for a while
Leave before you leave
Make me believe there's still something left
And say maybe our hearts could heal or break
This could go either way
Let's be in love
Let's be in love
Let's go upstairs till we've both had enough
There's no tomorrow
Or yesterday oh my my
Let's be in love tonight
Let's be in love tonight
Time life is just time
Leaves on a vine
Pasted or wasted away
Tried god knows we tried
Taking our sides
And played it so safe
Maybe our hearts could heal or break
This could go either way
Let's be in love
Let's be in love
Let's go upstairs till we've both had enough
There's not tomorrow
Or yesterday of my my
Let's be in love tonight
Let's close the door
Let's be indiscreet
Let's be the flesh and the sweat on the sheets
Let's fill the darkness with passion and grace
Let's leave a mark that will never erase
God knows what we'll be by the morning light
Now come on over here
Let's be in love tonight
God knows what we'll be by the morning light
Let's be in love
Let's be in love
Let's go upstairs 'til we've both had enough
Let's be in love
Let's be in love
Let's go upstairs 'til we've both had enough
There's no tomorrow
Or yesterday oh my my
Let's be in love tonight
Let's be in love
Let's be in love
Let's be in love tonight

Well I'm looking at the man in the broken glass
There's a crack where his heart was beating last
Oh I can tell he's been through hell
I say never stop dreaming
Oh yesterday's gone
Tomorrow is the day
Oh we're not dying
We're just paving the way
For the lovers, the dreamers
The kids who say
Never stop living
Oh never stop living
Cause if it rains it rains
We'll be in the street looking thunder in the face
Singing na na na na na
I won't change
Cause if it rains it rains
Oh like water in your lungs
They try to shut you down
Take your good ideas
And your shout out louds
But they don't know
The movement's growing
We'll never stop breathing
Oh never before and never again
Will there be a moment like this my friend
To make a change
Stand up and say
Never stop living
No never stop living
Cause if it rains it rains
We'll be in the street looking thunder in the face
Singing na na na na na
I won't change
Cause if it rains it rains
Cause if it rains it rains
We'll be in the street looking thunder in the face
Singing na na na na na
I won't change
Cause if it rains it rains
If it rains it rains
We'll be in the street looking thunder in the face
Singing nan na na na na
I won't change
Cause if it rains it rains
Oh if it rains it rains
Oh no now
Oh if it rains it rains

I didn't take a suitcase
I had to travel light
I climbed out my bedroom window
It was just about quarter past midnight

Out on the highway
I hitched a ride
I was heading west
I had to listen to some trucker
Tell me all about the meaning of life

Got a ride just outside of Memphis
I was wild out on the road
I saw shanties and shacks
And burned out Cadillac's
And faces that glittered like gold

Shoulda seen it coming
Shoulda seen the signs
I saw seven horses running
I had a front row seat at the end of time

I was just fifteen
And the world was mine
And I watched my dreams
Come to life on that night
I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas

Now since that long lost summer
I ain't ever looked back
Now the lines on my face
Are looking more like cracks

When the dreams all crumble
It's time to face the facts
I don't care about tomorrow
Oh there's no looking back

I shoulda seen it coming
Oh I shoulda seen the signs
I saw seven horses running
I had a front row seat at the end of time

I was just fifteen
And the world was mine
And I watched my dreams
Come to life on that night
I was standing tall
Thought I would never die
And I watched it all
In the white spot light

I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas

I shoulda seen it coming
Oh I shoulda seen the signs
I saw seven horses running
I had a front row seat at the end of time

When the lights went out
I heard the young girls scream
The sound of my heart beat
My heart beat
Would make the thunder proud

Well I was just fifteen
And the world was mine
The wolrd was mine
And I watched my dreams
Come to life on that night
Well I was standing tall
I was standing tall
Thought I would never die
I would never die
And I watched it all
In the white spot light

I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas
I saw Elvis in Vegas
Oh I saw Elvis in Vegas

Hit it!

Everything I've ever dreamed of
Has begun to fade to black
Oh, I don't know where I ever lost love
Or where to go now to get it back

I'm a desperate, lonely child and I don't have enough
I've come to know the rules and laws and scriptures of love

If it ain't real - fake it!
If it ain't yours - take it!
If it don't exist - you make it!
If it ain't broke - break it!

If it ain't real - fake it!
If it ain't yours - take it!
If it's gone to sleep - you wake it!
If it ain't broke - break it!

Gimme some words I can live by
Gimme commandments to know
Gimme some fables and proverbs
You gotta gimme some signs where to go

There are designated angels who just might save your soul, no!
They give me words to live by - and that's all that I know

If it ain't real - fake it!
If it ain't yours - take it!
If it don't exist - you make it!
If it ain't broke - break it!

If it ain't real - fake it!
If it ain't yours - take it!
If it's all gone bad - forsake it!
If it ain't broke - break it...

There are designated angels who just might save your soul
They give me words to live by - and that's all that I know

If it ain't real - fake it!
If it ain't yours - take it!
If it don't exist - you make it!
If it ain't broke - break it!

If it ain't real - fake it!
If it ain't yours - take it!
If it's gone to sleep - you wake it!
If it ain't broke - break it!

If it ain't real - fake it!
If it ain't yours - take it!
If it don't exist - you make it!
If it ain't broke - break it!

If it ain't real - fake it!
If it ain't yours - take it!
If it's all gone bad - forsake it!
And if it ain't broke - break it...

(Child/James Michael)

I'm not afraid to show you who I am
And I am not ashamed of my life
Though I've walked alone down this cold and soulless road
I've always felt your heat in my bones

With every step I rise and fall
With everything to gain I end up losing it all
When the darkness gets in
I scream out and your light sets me free

I'm not afraid of the past no more
I'm not afraid and I'm bad for good
I used to dance to the devil's beat
If I could bust into hell I would

I'm not afraid to shed all my skin
I'm not afraid of the faults you see
I'm tearing down these walls right now
They're comin' down 'cause I believe

Your love is blind, blind as a bat
The way that you're leading me home like that
Your love is blind, blind as bat

I'm not afraid when they kick me down
I'm not afraid when I start to bleed
I'm not afraid if I live or die
I'm not afraid 'cause I believe

Your love is blind, blind as a bat
The way that you're leading me home like that
Your love is blind, blind as bat

And I wish that I could give you something in return
For the precious time you wasted on the tears I've never earned
For reaching out to help me 'cross the bridges that I burned

And in the end you'll finally see
That, baby, I've done everything I possibly can
I do it again 'cause know you're everything that I need

I'm not afraid of the the truth no more
I'm not afraid of the lies I hid
I'm not afraid of the past of my sins
'Cause I paid for the wrongs I did

I'm not afraid of the things you know
I'm just a book for the world to read
My final words on the final page
Will be amends 'cause I believe

Your love is blind, blind as a bat
The way that you're leading me home like that
Your love is blind, blind as bat

Your heart is kind, mine's painted black
The way me forgive me and just take me back
Your love is blind, blind as bat

Your love is blind, blind as a bat
The way that you're leading me home like that
Your love is blind, blind as bat

Your heart is kind, mine's painted black
The way me forgive me and just take me back
Your love is blind, blind as bat...

Love's an hourglass
It goes out wide the comes in closer
Time ticks away
Drifts away leaving empty sanded shoulders
Who said that love could last forever
Oh, I'm growing tired of feeling like I do

As we drift apart
Little secrets come between us
As we sail away
Feelin' comfort in the distance
You said that love would forever
Oh but neither one of us will ever surrender

There's a time
There's a place
A change of heart
About face
This is about love
It's about forgiveness

Tell me now, tell me like it is
You don't have to give
Amnesty is granted
What's done is done, for everyone
Come on bay let's start again right now
Amnesty is granted

You said that love would last forever
But neither one of us will ever surrender

There's a time
There's a place
A change of heart
About face
This is about love
It's about forgiveness

Tell me now, tell me like it is
You don't have to give
Amnesty is granted
What's done is done, for everyone
Come on bay let's start again right now
Amnesty, amnesty, amnesty is granted

You can't run away for ever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut out the night, you want to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart

Think of how we'd lay down together
We'd be list'ning to the radio so loud and so strong
Ev'ry golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove
it

I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, and I know you've got the scars
to prove it

Remember everything that I told you, and I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,
and let the drummer tell your heart what to do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

There's always something magic
There's always something new
And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams
come through
The beat is yours for ever
The beat is always true
And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams
come through,
for you

(instrumental bridge)

Once upon a time was a backbeat
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night

I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove
it

I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, and I know you've got the scars
to prove it

Remember everything that I told you, and I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,
and let the drummer tell your heart what to do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

There's always something magic
There's always something new
And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams
come through
The beat is yours for ever
The beat is always true
And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams
come through,
For you!

(The beat is yours for ever. That's when rock and roll dreams come through)

(repeat to fade)

And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'd 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

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

Some days it don't come easy
Some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end
Some nights you're breathing fire
Some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again

Maybe I'm crazy, but 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 dreams are coming true
You'd better believe it, that I would do

Anything for love
And I'l be there until the final act
I would do anything for love, and I'll take a vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight
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, I won't do that

I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that

Some days I pray for silence
Some days I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll
Some nights I lose the feeling
Some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls

Maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be
That'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'd better believe it, that I would do

Anything for love
And you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning back
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you. So long, so long
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, I won't do that
No, no, no, I won't do...

I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do...

But I'll never stop dreaming of you ev'ry night of my life, no way
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

Girl:

Will you raise me up? will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

Boy:

I can do that
I can do that

Girl:

Will you hold me sacred? Will you hold me tight?
Can you colourise my life, I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old?

Boy:

I can do that
Oh no, I can do that

Girl:

Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Will you build and emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?

Boy:

I can do that
I can do that

Girl:

Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?

Boy:

I can do that
Oh no, I can do that

Girl:

After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

Boy:

I won't do that
I won't do that

Girl:

I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around

Boy:

I won't do that
No, I won't do that

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

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'll never change the way I feel
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 too 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 don't 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 so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ooh 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 kep on telling 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
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

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.
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 moonlights 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 rotting 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 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 wanns 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 moonlights shining through,
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, 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.
Oh like a bat out of hell!
Oh like a bat out of hell!
Like a bat out of hell!

Yeah, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're goin' to the Roadhouse
We're gonna have a real
Good time

Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
And that's for the people
Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Do it, honey, do it

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta thrill my soul, all right
Roll, roll, roll, roll

Honk konk konk

Each ya bop a luba

Ashen lady, Ashen lady
Give up your vows, give up your vows
Save our city, save our city
Right now

Well, I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain, and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road

It's only two o'clock and the temperature's beginning to soar,
and all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead
It's never been this hot and I've never been so bored,
and breathing is just no fun anymore
And then I saw you like a summer dream and you're the answer to every prayer
that I ever said
I saw you like a summer dream and you're the answer to every prayer that I ever
said

You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway horse
The subways are steaming and the skin of the street is gleaming with sweat
I've seen you sitting on the steps outside,
and you were looking so restless and reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside,
and I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
I think it's time for you to come inside,
and I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget

Come on, come on, and there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it can kill you right back
Come on, come on! It's time to burn up the fuse
You got nothing to do and even less to lose
You got nothing to do and even less to lose

So wander down the ancient hallway, taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now,
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line
Open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire

And I wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan, and into the fire
Ooh I want to take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan, and into the fire
And into the fire, fire, fire!
And into the fire, fire, fire!
And into the fire, fire, fire!
And into the fire!
