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 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 ya gonna hide when it all comes down? Don't look back don't ever turn around) Chorus 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 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 comin' around They'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
