Born to run
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dreamAt night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machinesSprung from cages out on highway 9,Chrome wheeled, fuel injectedand steppin' out over the lineBaby this town rips the bones from your backIt's a death trap, it's a suicide rapWe 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 friendI want to guard your dreams and visionsJust wrap your legs 'round these velvet rimsand strap your hands across my enginesTogether we could break this trapWe'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go backWill you walk with me out on the wire'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely riderBut I gotta find out how it feelsI want to know if love is wildgirl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevardThe girls comb their hair in rearview mirrorsAnd the boys try to look so hardThe amusement park rises bold and starkKids are huddled on the beach in a mistI wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonightIn an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power driveEverybody's out on the run tonightbut there's no place left to hideTogether Wendy we'll live with the sadnessI'll love you with all the madness in my soulSomeday girl I don't know whenwe're gonna get to that placeWhere we really want to goand we'll walk in the sunBut till then tramps like usbaby we were born to run
