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 stepping 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 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
Walk with me out on the wire ´cause baby
I´m just a scared and lonely rider
I gotta find out how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild I wanna know if love is real

Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rear-view 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 out 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 could 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
Till then tramps like us baby we were born to run.
