Running for Cover

Lyrics

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
