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

Ho, 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
Yes, girl we were

Wendy let me in
I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and 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 till we drop
Baby we'll never go back

Ho, will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels

I want to know if love is wild
Girl, I want to know if love is real
Oh, can you show me

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

1, 2, 3, 4

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'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Ho, 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

Baby, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Baby, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
