Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It wont do no good to call, the police
They always come late, if the come at all

And when they arrive
They say the can't interfere with domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walked out the door and the tears well up in her
eyes

Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behing the wall
I prayed that I was dreaming
As 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 couldl use some sleep

Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It wont do no good to call the police
They always come late, if they come at all.
