If you say go
There's a chance that we're running scared
When they say you'll never be there
In the dress that you'll never wear
It's a sorry affair
We're on a hiding to nowhere
It's only right to swear
They pray that I won't answer you back
It's the dance that we'll never share
And the alarms that you can't do without
Running scared
We're on a hiding to nowhere
No, no, no
It takes a chance, a truth or dare
Is there a chance your lover'll be spared
If we say that we're running scared
It's a sorry affair
We're on a hiding to nowhere
It's only right to swear
And they say that I won't answer you back
It's the dance that we'll never share
And the alarms that you can't do without
Running scared
We're on a hiding to nowhere
So you button, you button your lip
And you button, you button your lip
You button, button your lip
And there's a sense of doubt
When the roads are out
You say that you'll never be there
So button, button your lip
If you say go
There's a chance that we're running scared
When they say you'll never be there
In the dress that you'll never wear
So you button, you button your lip
And you button, you button your lip
We're on a hiding to nowhere
And they say that I won't answer you back
It's the dance that we'll never share
And the alarms that you can't do without
You're running scared
We're on a hiding to nowhere
