Lyrics
Heat Of The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
