Runing 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

Chorus:
And I say
running for cover
running for cover
running for cover

It's 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 it's already after dark

And I say
running for cover
running for cover
running for cover, 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 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

Oh yeah baby
well I'm running for cover hey
I said baby
well I'm running for cover

Children play in the house
I go out take a walk in the park
children stay in the house
I go out for a walk in the park
