Behind The Wall lyrics

by Tracy Chapman)
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 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 I saw 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
