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 in 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 so 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 (ooh)
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 all the lesson you should, such a pity
Still and all you will stay with the others behind, well
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 so 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

(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover)
(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover)

(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby) say baby, but you're running for cover
(You're running for cover)
(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby) say baby, but you're running for cover
(You're running for cover)

I was always alone and afraid in the city
Left my shoes and my clothes and my lovers behind, yeah
I felt incomplete, out there on the street

(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover)

Oh yeah (you're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby) poor baby, but you're running for cover
(You're running for cover)
(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover)

(You're running for cover, baby) just saying you don't have
(You're running for cover, baby) to do one more walk in the park
(You're running for cover)
(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby) poor baby, but you're running for cover
(You're running for cover)

(You're running for cover, baby)
(You're running for cover, baby) poor baby, but you're running for cover
(You're running for cover)
(You're running for cover, baby) just saying you don't have
(You're running for cover, baby) to do one more walk in the park
(You're running for cover)
So then stay in the park, 'cause the devil's is walking in the dark
