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
