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 streetI was always alone and afraid
such a pity
little girls just don't know what comes
out after dark
but the devil wasn't in here
down on that dead end streetAnd I say
running for cover
running for cover
running for cover
It's take keeping me running
I'm just scared that he's out tonight
it's keeping me running
I don't know why, but its getting dark
say the devil's in the park
and its already after dark
running for cover
running for cover
running for cover, nowLife is really so hard when you live in the city
no one know what a young girl
has on her mind, yeah
but you're headed for defect
down on that dead end streetNever learned of the lesson
you should, such a pity
Still and all you'll stay away
the others behind
and the promise in the dark
is that the devil's in the parkAnd I say
running for cover
running for cover
running for cover
It's take keeping me running
I'm just scared that he's out tonight
it's keeping me running
I don't know why, but its getting dark
say the devil's in the park
and its already after darkrunning for cover
running for cover
running for cover
Spent the best of my life running scared
