| 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 wasn’t in here | 
| down on that dead end street | 
| And 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, now | 
| Life 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 street | 
| Never 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 park | 
| And 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 | 
| 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 |
