(x4)
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 morning light
Cause you're living 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 (Yeah, that's right)
Better leave it alone
In the heat of the night
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
(x2)
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
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
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
In the heat of the night
Yeah
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
