Lyrics
0:00Last night I heard the screaming
0:03Loud voices behind the wall
0:07Another sleepless night for me
0:10It won't do no good to call
0:13The police
0:15Always come late If they come at all
0:22Last night I heard the screaming
0:25Loud voices behind the wall
0:29Another sleepless night for me
0:32It won't do no good to call
0:35The police
0:37And lways come late
0:39If they come at all
0:42And when they arrive
0:44They say they can't interfere
0:45With domestic affairs
0:48Between a man and his wife
0:51And as they walk out the door
0:52The tears well up in her eyes
0:58Last night I heard the screaming
1:01Then a silence that chilled my soul
1:04I prayed that I was dreaming
1:07When I saw the ambulance in the road
1:10And the policeman said
1:14I'm here to keep the peace
1:17Will the crowd disperse
1:20I think we all could use some sleep
1:25Last night I heard the screaming
1:29Loud voices behind the wall
1:33Another sleepless night for me
1:35It won't do no good to call
1:38The police Always come late
1:43If they come at all
Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late If they come at all Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police And lways come late If they come at all And when they arrive They say they can't interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes Last night I heard the screaming Then a silence that chilled my soul I prayed that I was dreaming When I saw the ambulance in the road And the policeman said I'm here to keep the peace Will the crowd disperse I think we all could use some sleep Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late If they come at all
