|
I was caught in the crossfire |
|
of a silent scream |
|
Where one man's nightmare |
|
is another man's dream |
|
Pull the covers up high |
|
and pray for the mornin' light |
|
Cause you're livin' alone |
|
in the heat of the night |
|
Met a man with a message |
|
from the other side |
|
Couldn't take the pressure |
|
had to leave it behind |
|
He said it's up to you |
|
You can run or you can fight |
|
(ya that's right) |
|
Better leave it alone |
|
in the heat of the night |
|
In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around |
|
They'll be lookin' for answers |
|
they'll be chasin' you down |
|
In the heat of the night |
|
(Where you gonna hide when it all comes down) |
|
(Don't look back don't ever turn around) |
|
Had to pay the piper to call the tune |
|
Said he'd be back someday |
|
said he'd be back real soon |
|
Pull the shades down low |
|
you'll know when the time is right |
|
When you're lyin' alone in the heat of the night |
