Born to Run

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 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, 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 'cross my engines

Together we could break this trap
We'll run till 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, but I gotta know how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild, babe, I wanna know if love is real
Oh, can you show me?

(Huh, tah, come on)

Beyond the palace, semi-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 a mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight, in an everlasting kiss
Huh

(One, two, three, four)

The highways 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 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 till then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run

Oh, honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Come on, Wendy, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run

Oh-oh-woah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Mm-mm-mm, oh-oh-woah
Oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
