Heat of the Night
夜晚的热
I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream
Pull the cover up high - and pray for the mornin' light
Cause you're livin' alone - in the heat of the night
我陷入无声的尖叫困境
那里一个男人的噩梦是另一个人的梦
扯上被子盖住 并祈求清晨的光芒
因为你活在孤独中 在炎热的夜晚
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
遇上一个人收到另一边的消息
不能承受压力 不得不抛在脑后
他说随便你
你可以逃跑或者战斗(你说的对)
好过不管它 在炎热的夜晚
In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around
There'll be lookin' for answers they'll be chasin' you down
In the heat of the night
(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down)
(Don't look back don't ever turn around)
在炎热的夜晚他们将清醒过来
他们会追逐着你寻找答案
在炎热的夜晚
(你要藏在哪当它全部到来)
(别回头不要转身)
Had to pay the piper to call the tune
Said he'd be back someday - said he'd be 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
不得不为发号施令承担代价
说他将某天回来 说他将很快回来
把百叶窗拉低 你会知道什么时间是对的
当你独卧在炎热的夜晚中
In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around
There'll be lookin' for answers they'll be chasin' you down
In the heat of the night
(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down)
(Don't look back don't ever turn around)
在炎热的夜晚他们将清醒过来
他们会追逐着你寻找答案
在炎热的夜晚
(你要藏在哪当它全部到来)
(别回头不要转身)
