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
|
