Something To Hide

Verse
There's a girl at the end of the street
She beats a path in the concrete
She cries inside, but the baby's gotta eat...she's callin...
A spectacle for the the guys on the cruise
She reels them in with the way she moves
I'm sure her mother wouldn't quite approve...she's fallen...
Chorus
She's got something to hide
She's got something to hide
She's got something to hide
Something to hide
Verse
A man with a plan and a new career
A little black ghost has brought him here
Tonight he just wants to disappear...he's burnin'...
He says, "Hey baby can we go for a ride?"
They park the car on the hillside
Now the waves of guilt tear him up inside...he's runnin...
Chorus
He's got something to hide
He's got something to hide
He's got something to hide
Something to hide
Bridge
Are you runnin' (runnin), hidin' (hidin')
Are you runnin' (runnin), hidin' (hidin')
Verse
The one side says she's better off now
It would have happened someday, somehow
The other side cries, "How could we allow this in our town?"
We could've given her the wings to fly
Took her hand, helped her to defy
Now we sing a sorry lullabye...we're drowning
Chorus
We've got something to hide
We've got something to hide
We've got something to hide
Something to hide
Repeat Chorus
Are you runnin' (runnin), hidin' (hidin')
Are you runnin' (runnin), hidin' (hidin')
