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´
