In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
And steppin' out over the line
Oh, 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 visions
Just wrap your legs 'round thesе velvet rims
And strap your arms 'cross my enginеs
Together we could break this trap
We'll run 'til we drop
And baby, we'll never go back
'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 wanna know if love is real
Beyond the palace Hemi-powered drones
Scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss, huh
One, two, three, four
The highway's jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
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 of the madness in my soul
Oh, 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
Oh, honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Come on, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
