Born to Run
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 9
Chrome-wheeled, fuel injected
And steppin' out over the line
Whoa
Baby this town strips 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
Oh now let me in, I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'cross these velvet rims
And strap your hands 'cross my engines
Together we can break this trap
We'll run 'til we drop
And baby we'll never go back
Whoa
Will you walk with me out on the wire?
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely
But I gotta know how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild
I wanna know if love is real
Oh yes I do
Beyond the palace, Hemi-powered drones
Scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in the rear-view mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled all around in the mist
I wanna die with you out on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highways are filled with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
But everyone's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together girl, we'll live with the sadness
I love you with all the madness in my soul
Whoa
Someday girl, I don't know when
We're gonnna get to that place
We both really wanted to 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
Honey, tramps like us
Baby, were were born to run
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome-wheeled, fuel injected
And steppin' out over the line
Whoa
Baby this town strips 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
Oh now let me in, I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'cross these velvet rims
And strap your hands 'cross my engines
Together we can break this trap
We'll run 'til we drop
And baby we'll never go back
Whoa
Will you walk with me out on the wire?
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely
But I gotta know how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild
I wanna know if love is real
Oh yes I do
Beyond the palace, Hemi-powered drones
Scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in the rear-view mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark

I wanna die with you out on the streets tonight

But 'til then tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Honey, tramps like us
Baby, were were born to run
