Born to Run

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 the suicide machines

Sprung from cages on highway nine

Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line

Oh, maybe 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 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, and 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 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

Yeah, in an everlasting kiss, huh

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

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

Oh, honey, tramps like us

Baby, we were born to run

Come on with me, tramps like us

Baby, we were born to run

Run, mm

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Run, run, run, run

Mm

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa

Run, run, run, run
