Born to Run

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream

At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines

Sprung from cages out 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, 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

Wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines

Together we could break this trap

We'll run till we drop, baby, we'll never go back

Oh, so 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 want to know if love is wild, girl, 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 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

Everyone'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 someday, girl, 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 till then tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
