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, walk with me out on the wire

Cuz baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider

But I gotta find out how it feels

I wanna know if your love is wild

I wanna know if love is real

Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones

Scream down the boulevard

Girls comb their hair in review mirrors

And the boys try to look so hard

The amusement park rises bold and stark

And kids are huddled on the beach in the mist

I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight

In an everlasting kiss

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

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 really wanna go

And we'll walk in the sun

But till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Come on Wendy, tramps like us

Baby we were born to run

Whoa, ooh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Ooh

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
