| I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
|
| Where one man’s nightmare is another man’s dream
|
| Pull the cover 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
|
| There’ll be lookin' for answers they’ll be chasin' you down
|
| In the heat of the night
|
| (Where ya 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 |
