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 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   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      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      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 till 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   Whoa, oh   Mmmm   Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh   Whoa, whoa, whoa   Mmmm   Whoa, whoa, whoa
