Born To Run

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chromed wheels, fuel-injected and steppin' out over the line

Mmm, baby, this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and your visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run 'til we drop and, baby, we'll never go back

Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
'Cause, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild
I gotta know if love is real

Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in the rearview
Mirrors and the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
The kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the
Streets tonight in an everlasting kiss

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
And everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Oh, and someday, girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place where we really wanna go
And we'll walk in the sun
But 'til then, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
