Behind The Wall


written by Tracy Chapman


   Last night I heard the screaming
   loud voices behind the wall
   another sleeples 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 sleeples 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
