Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Meatloaf

1. PARADISE 
BOY: 
I remember every little thing 
As if it happened only yesterday 
Parking by the lake 
And there was not another car in sight 
And I never had a girl 
Looking any better than you did 
And all the kids at school 
They were wishing they were me that night 
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight 
It never felt so good, it never felt so right 
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife 
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife 
C'mon! Hold on tight! 
C'mon! Hold on tight! 
Thought it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night 
I can see paradise by the dashboard light 

GIRL: 
Ain't no doubt about it 
We were doubly blessed 
'Cause we were barely seventeen 
And we were barely dressed 
Ain't no doubt about it 
Baby got to go and shout it 
Ain't no doubt about it 
We were doubly blessed 

BOY: 
'Cause we were barely seventeen 
And we were barely dressed 
Baby doncha hear my heart 
You got it drowning out the radio 
I've been waiting so long 
For you to come along and have some fun 
And I gotta let you know 
No you're never gonna regret it 
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise 
It'll feel all right 
Well I wanna make your motor run 
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight 
It never felt so good, it never felt so right 
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife 
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife 
C'mon! Hold on tight! 
C'mon! Hold on tight! 

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night 
I can see paradise by the dashboard light 
Paradise by the dashboard light 
You got to do what you can 
And let Mother Nature do the rest 
Ain't no doubt about it 
We were doubly blessed 
'Cause we were barely seventeen 
And we were barely- 

We're gonna go all the way tonight 
We're gonna go all the way 
And tonight's the night... 
We're gonna go all the way tonight 
We're gonna go all the way 
And tonight's the night... 

RADIO BROADCAST 
OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, 
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, 
There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, 
Look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really 
turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for 
second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the 
throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he 
comes, he's out! No, wait, safe-safe at second base, this kid 
really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the 
plate, here's the pitch-he's going, and what a jump he's got, 
he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at 
third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out 
there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher 
glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third 
base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze 
play, it's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it! 

II. LET ME SLEEP ON IT

III. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME 
I couldn't take it any longer 
Lord I was crazed 
And when the feeling came upon me 
Like a tidal wave 
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave 
That I would love you to the end of time 
I swore that I would love you to the end of time! 
So now I'm praying for the end of time 
To hurry up and arrive 
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you 
I don't think that I can really survive 
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow 
But God only knows what I can do right now 
I'm praying for the end of time 
It's all that I can do 
Praying for the end of time, 
So I can end my time with you!! 

BOY: 
It was long ago and it was far away 
And it was so much better that it is today 

GIRL: 
It never felt so good 
It never felt so right 
And we were glowing like 
A metal on the edge of a knife
