Lyrics
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 stepping out over the line,
whoah 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
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 till we drop, baby we'll never go back,
whoah, 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, baby, I wanna know if love is real,
oh can you show me
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard,
the girls comb their hairs 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 in an everlasting kiss
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,
woah, someday girl, I don't know when,
we're gonna get to that place where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun,
but till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run,
ah honey, tramps like us, baby we were born to run,
come on Wendy, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
