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

out on highway nine

chrome-wheeled

fuel-injected

and steppin' out over the line

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 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 love is wild

babe, I wanna 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 the Mist

I wanna die with you, Wendy

on the street tonight

in an everlasting kiss

huh!

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, Wendy

tramps like us

baby, we were born to run

run...

Mmm...

uh-oh-oh-oh...

Run...

Mmm...

woah-oh-oh-oh

woah-oh-oh-oh

woah-oh-oh-oh-oh...
