Lyrics:

[English]

I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream

Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream

Pull the covers up high - and pray for the mornin' light

Cause you're livin' 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

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 you gonna hide when it all comes down)

(Don't look back don't ever turn around)

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

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 you 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 you 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 chasin' you down

In the heat of the night

(Where you 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 you gonna hide when it all comes down)

(Don't look back don't ever turn around)
