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 was'ts in heart

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 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 defect

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...
