Behind The Wall 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
