Meat Loaf - Bad for Good

Head to my profile for the full album

This is the fourth track from Meat Loaf's album 'Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose'

The sea is whipping the sky
The sky is whipping the sea
You can hide away forever from the storm
But you'll never hide away from me
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
And we may lose everything in the wind
But the Northern Lights are burning
And they're giving off sparks
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin

You know I'm onto your scent
We're near the end of the chase
Take a look out your window and I'll be there in the night
Your love is so close that I can almost taste it
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
And we may lose everything in the wind
But the Northern Lights are burning
And they're giving off sparks
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin

You've been living your life like a girl in a cage
And you whisper when I want you to shout
And I wonder why you wanna go on sleeping
When there's nothing left to dream about
But you better remember
If it's something I want then it's something I need
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed
If it's something I want then it's something I need
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed

And I know that I'm gonna be like this forever
I'm never gonna be what I should
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
But I know that I'll be bad for good
I know that I'll be bad for good
I know that I'll be bad for good

Your eyes are darker than sin
And I've been watching them glow
Take a chance on a promise and a roll of the dice
Put your foot on the gas, let it go, let it go, let it go

You've been living your life like a girl in a cage
And you whisper when I want you to shout
And wonder why you wanna go on sleeping
When there's nothing left to dream about
But you better remember
If it's something I want then it's something I need
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed
If it's something I want then it's something I need
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed

And I know that I'm gonna be like this forever
I'm never gonna be what I should
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
But I know that I'll be bad for good
I know that I'll be bad for good
I know that I'll be bad for good
I know that I'll be bad for good

Bad for good
Bad for good

For the good of some thrills on a long frigid night
For the good of the fire in your soul
For the good of the kiss let me hold you so tight
For the good of getting out of control
For the good of the action and a race in the dark
For the good of those chills up your spine
For the good of the rock and the roll in your heart
For the good of what's yours and what's mine
For the good of believing in a life after birth
For the good of your body so bright
For the good of the search for some heaven on earth
For the good of one hell of a night
For the good of one hell of a night

For the good of the action and a race in the dark
For the good of the fire in your soul
For the good of the rock and the roll in your heart
For the good of getting out of control
For the good of believing in a life after birth
For the good of your body so bright
For the good of the search for some heaven on earth
For the good of one hell of a night, for the good of one hell of a night

God speed!
God speed!
God speed! speed us away!
God speed!
God speed!
God speed! speed us away!

I'll be bad for good (God speed)
I'll be bad for good (God speed)
I'll be bad for good (God speed)
Speed us away, speed us away, speed us away, speed us away

The sea is whipping the sky
The sky is whipping the sea
You can hide away forever from the storm
But you'll never hide away from me
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
And we may lose everything in the wind
But the Northern Lights are burning
And they're giving off sparks
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin

I know that you can be bad
At least a little while
But if you give me a chance, give me one little chance
And give me all the love that you should
Then instead of being bad for just a little while
Then instead of being bad for just a little while
Then instead of being bad for just a little while

I'm gonna make you bad for good
I'm gonna make you bad for good
I'm gonna make you bad for good
I know that you'll be bad for good
You'll be bad for good

Meat Loaf + Brian May + Jim Steinman = Hold on to your ass!

[BowieQueenSnape]

Isn't it perfect? LOL. Queen and Meat Loaf together in some capacity. And they could not have found a better guitar player :)

[ThePineleaf1]

I think the Meat is terrific.. Rock on!

[gojira931]

@Z3kedog this IS brian may on guitar

[Z3kedog]

HOLY CRAP!!! I was just thinking "wow this sure sounds like a Queen song". Sure enough I scroll down and see yall had the same idea. I guess great minds think alike. Awhile ago I depated with my friend what style of music Queen was, I would classify it as rock opera for sure.

You guys bring up brian may... did he do this song or something? The fandango you're right those 3 making an album would be on a whole nother level than any other music realesed.

@jambo68 please remember that jim made this songs for meatloaf is more a package deal they are like peanutbutter and jam together is explosive but they work for separately too meat has very good albums alone and he sings this song the way it was intented for him just increible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Bat Out Of Hell. The epic trilogy.

[Cuchulainlugh]

I am fairly certain, Meatloaf is god on earth. His voice is the greatest ever heard. One day he will be shooting with the stars and flying with the angels. My car, meatloaf all the time!!!

[tacodude1]

@Arthur5041975 you could say that about all members of queen being in the same room for the long time they were together

[StefanKulic]

Jim has a dark passion bu Meat has a big voice and he managing to carry this song in a much better way
