Lyrics:

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
