Lyrics

[00:00.76] Last night I heard the screaming
[00:03.98] Loud voices behind the wall
[00:07.63] Another sleepless night for me
[00:10.52] It won't do no good to call
[00:13.71] The police
[00:15.87] Always come late
[00:17.81] If they come at all
[00:22.30] Last night I heard the screaming
[00:25.55] Loud voices behind the wall
[00:29.26] Another sleepless night for me
[00:31.90] It won't do no good to call
[00:35.06] The police
[00:37.00] Always come late
[00:39.05] If they come at all
[00:42.77] And when they arrive
[00:44.41] They say they can't interfere with domestic affairs
[00:48.92] Between a man and his wife
[00:51.14] And as they walk out the door
[00:52.95] The tears well up in her eyes
[00:58.15] Last night I heard the screaming
[01:01.34] Then a silence that chilled my soul
[01:04.89] I prayed that I was dreaming
[01:07.35] When I saw the ambulance in the road
[01:10.39] And the policeman said
[01:13.84] "I'm here to keep the peace"
[01:17.31] Will the crowd disperse
[01:20.21] I think we all could use some sleep"
[01:25.94] Last night I heard the screaming
[01:28.95] Loud voices behind the wall
[01:32.88] Another sleepless night for me
[01:35.69] It won't do no good to call
[01:38.81] The police
[01:40.96] Always come late
[01:43.08] If they come at all
