Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call

Between a man and his wife
And as they walk out the door
The tears well up in her eyes

Then a silence was chilling 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 could use some sleep"

Chorus
