|
In the day we sweat it out in 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 |
|
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 want to guard your dreams and visions |
|
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims |
|
And strap your hands across my engines |
|
Together we could break this trap |
|
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back |
|
Will you walk with me out on the wire |
|
`cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider |
|
But I gotta find out how it feels |
|
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real |
|
Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard |
|
The 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 a mist |
|
I wanna die with you wendy on the streets 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'll live with the sadness |
|
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul |
|
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 |
