Now it's caught in the crossfire of a silent scream 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 Better man with a message from the other side Couldn't take the pressure, had to leave it behind 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 They'll be looking for answers, they'll be chasing you down In the heat of the night When you're high, when it all comes down Don't look back, don't ever turn around Had to pay the piper to call it to you Said he'd be back someday, said he'd be back real soon Pull the sheets 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 They'll be looking for answers, they'll be chasing you down In the heat of the night When you're high, when it all comes down Don't look back, don't ever turn around When you're high, 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 They'll be looking for answers, they'll be chasing you down In the heat of the night When you're high, 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 They'll be looking for answers, they'll be chasing you down In the heat of the night When you're high, when it all comes down Don't look back, don't ever turn around In the heat of the night They'll be chasing you down In the heat of the night When you're high, when it all comes down Don't look back, don't ever turn around Don't look back, don't ever turn around
