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 morning light
'Cause you're living 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 (yeah, that's right)
Better leave it alone, in the heat of the night
In the heat of the night, they'll be coming around
There'll be looking for answers, they'll be chasing 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 lying alone, in the heat of the night
In the heat of the night, they'll be coming around
There'll be looking for answers, they'll be chasing 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)
In the heat of the night, they'll be coming around
There'll be looking for answers, they'll be chasing 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)
In the heat of the night, they'll be coming around
There'll be looking for answers, chasing 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)
In the heat of the night
There'll be chasing 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)
