Heat Of The Night

(album: Into The Fire - 1987)

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 morning light
Cause you're living 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 (ya that's right)
Better leave it alone in the heat of the night

In the heat of the night they'll be coming around
They'll be looking for answers they'll be chasing 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 lying alone in the heat of the night
