Tracy Chapman - Behind the wall

Artist: Tracy Chapman
Lyric: Behind The Wall

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
Always come late If they come at all

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
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 walk out the door
The tears well up in her eyes

Last night I heard the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul

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 disperse
I think we all clould use some sleep

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
Always come late If they come at all
