Behind The Wall by Tracy Chapman

Last night I (1)__________ the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no (2)________ to call
The police
Always come late
If they come at all

Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless (3)__________ for me
It won't do no (4)________ to call
The police
Always come late
If they (5)________ at all

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

Last night I (6)__________ the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul
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 (7)__________ we all (8)__________ use some sleep'

Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices (9)____________ 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
