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
