Behind the Wall Official
Tracy Chapman
[Hook 1]
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

[Hook 1]
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

[Verse 1]
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
[Hook 2]
Last night I heard the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul
Prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road

[Verse 2]
And the policeman said
"I'm here to keep the peace
Will the crowd disperse?
I think we all could use some sleep"

[Hook 1]
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
