Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night, it won't do no good to call the police
They always come late if they come at all
And when the 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 the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
I pray that I was dreaming when was the ambulance in the road
And the police man said, I'm here to keep the peace
Would the crowd please disperse
I think we all could use some sleep
And 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
They always come late if they come at all
