Bad for Good

[Verse 1: Jim Steinman]

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 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

[Pre-Chorus: Jim Steinman]

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

[Chorus: Jim Steinman]

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

[Verse 2: Jim Steinman]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Jim Steinman]

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

[Chorus: Jim Steinman]

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

[Bridge: Background Singers]

Bad for good

Bad for good

Bad for good

Bad for good

[Verse 3: Jim Steinman]

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

[Bridge: Jim Steinman]

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

[Verse 4: Jim Steinman]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Jim Steinman]

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

[Chorus: Jim Steinman]

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
