One man's
nightmare
Is another
man's dream.
Pull the covers
up high
And pray for
the mornin'
light
'Cause you're
livin' 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
comin' around,
They'll be
lookin' for
answers,
They'll be
chasin' you
down.
In the heat of
the night.
(Where
you're 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
back real
soon.
Pull the
shades down
low,
You'll know
when the time
is right.
When you're
lyin' alone
In the heat of
the night.
