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 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 d**h trap, it's a suicide rap We 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 friend I wanna 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 'til 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 your love is wild Girl, I wanna know if love is real Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones Scream down the boulevard Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors And the boys try to look so hard The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss One, two, three, four! Highway's jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the road 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 'til then tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Honey, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Come on Wendy, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run
