Last night I heard a 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
And last night I heard a 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
And when they arrive,
they say they can't interfere with domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walked out the door
The tears were left in her eyes
Last night I heard a screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
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 please disperse?
I think we all could use some sleep"
And last night I heard a 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
