In the day we sweat it out on 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 nine,
|
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
|
H-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
|
H-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 want to know if love is wild
|
Babe I want to know if love is real
|
Oh, can you show me
|
Beyond the Palace hemi-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 street tonight
|
In an everlasting kiss
|
One, two, three, four!
|
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'll love you with all the madness in my soul
|
H-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 with me, tramps like us
|
Baby we were born to run |
