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
