Born To Run (Live)
In the day we sweat it out on the streetsOf a runaway American dreamAt night we ran through the mansions of gloryIn suicide machines
Sprung from cables on highway 9Chrome wheeled, fuel injection and stepping out over the lineWhoa-oh, baby, 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 a friendI wanna guard your dreams and visionsJust wrap your legs 'round these velvet rimsAnd strap your hands 'cross my engines
Together, Wendy, we can break this trapWe will run till we drop, and baby, we'll never go backWhoa-oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?'Cause babe, I'm just a scared and lonely riderYou know I gotta know how I feelI wanna know if love is wildBabe, I wanna know if love is real
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered dronesScream down the boulevardGirls 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 the mistI wanna die with you, Wendy, on a street tonightIn an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroesOn a last chance power driveAnd everybody's out on the run tonightBut there's no place left to hide
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadnessI'll love you with all of the madness in my soulWhoa-oh, someday, girl, I don't know whenWe're gonna get to that place where we really wanted to goAnd we'll walk in the sunBut till then, tramps like us, baby, we were born to runBaby, we were born to run
