Born to Run

In the day we sweat it out in 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 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line 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 want to guard your dreams and visions Just wraps your legs 'round these velvet rims And strap your hands 'cross my engines Together we could break this trap We'll run 'til we drop, 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 Gotta know how it feels I want to know if love is wild Babe, I want to know if love is real Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard The 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 on a mist I wanna die with you out on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss Oh, 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 love you with all the madness in my soul Oh, someday, babe, I don't know when We're gonna get to that place where we really want to go And we'll walk in the sun But 'til then, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Oh, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Oh, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run
