Running for Cover

Spent the best of my life running scared in the city

Left my shoes and my clothes and my lovers behind, yeah

Oh but I felt incomplete, living out there on the street

I was always alone and afraid, such a pity

Little girls just don't know what comes out after dark

But the devil waits in heat, down on that dead end street

And I say

Running for cover

Running for cover

Running for cover

It's keeping me running

I'm just a-scared that he's out tonight

It's keeping me running

I don't know why, but it's getting dark

Say the devil's in the park

And it's already after dark

Running for cover

Running for cover

Running for cover, now

...now...

Life is really so hard when you live in the city

No one knows what a young girl has on her mind, yeah

But you're headed for defeat, down on that dead end street

Never learned of the lesson you should, such a pity

Still and all you'll stay with the others behind

And the promise in the dark is that the devil's in the park

And I say

Running for cover

Running for cover

Running for cover

It's keeping me running

I'm just a-scared that he's out tonight

It's keeping me running

I don't know why, but it's getting dark

Say the devil's in the park

And it's already after dark

Running for cover

Running for cover

Running for cover

I was always alone and afraid in the city

Left my shoes and my clothes and my lovers behind, yeah

Oh but I felt incomplete, out there on the street
